Hrrrmmmm... No offence, but... where did it come from? Some demented LISPer? You *do* realize that such suggestion implies quoting scheme, right? It's easy to do when the contents of file is a tree, but damn hard when it's an array with an arbitrary contents. And such quoting will mean that cat is not fast anymore - extra copying is not fun, especially for situations when you have to run non-trivial loops [cost of unaligned memory access is surprisingly high].

Umm... Modulo recompilation of existing tools - yes.
