why is not screen a module?
the answer always have been: "for the same reason so sockets have to be
in stream.d: modules cannot create new built-in streams".
this is a valid reason for sockets which must be as fast as file and
pipe streams and thus cannot be gray streams, but why can't window
streams be gray streams?

PS. actually, it is not clear why modules cannot create new kinds of
streams. they already create objects, why can't they create
pseudofunctions? and what else is needed for new built-in streams
created by modules?
