Subject: Re: [Caml-list] wrapping a string in an in_channel

Technically, it should be possible by using low-level Unix machinery
like in the following:

let wrap_string s =3D
  let infd, outfd =3D Unix.pipe () in
  let inc =3D Unix.in_channel_of_descr infd in
  let outc =3D Unix.out_channel_of_descr outfd in
  let writer () =3D
    output_string outc s;
    flush outc;
    close_out outc
  in Thread.create writer ();
  inc

... but the other suggestions are probably better...
