re: sendfile in the interface - that's important because while downcasting the stream to "FileStream" would work if your pipeline looks like A -> B, it falls apart the moment you introduce an item in the middle (A -> B -> C). Meanwhile I have a demo of File -> tar -> HTTP (Transfer-Encoding: chunked) -> Socket and the direct fd-to-fd copies make it all the way through the chain!
