I answered on the topic of huge input data.
I doubt that the example which was used here,
with some printng-statements,
will be used all the time.

As it was mentioned, it is some OCaml learning stuff,
and one day it might become more complex and the data read and written
will be more.

Then string-append in the reading part, wihout Buffer module will
become a bottleneck.
