Comment:

 I'm sorry I let this go so long.

 I will consider it as a feature request for a form of seekability weaker
 than that currently supported, in which you can only request that the file
 pointer be restored to a location that was previously saved. A weak-
 seekable newline filter would then not have to worry about seeking
 relative to the current location, but would just have  to remember the
 file offsets of the downstream device at various previousl-queried
 locations.

 It may already be possible to implement this in the currently library, but
 introducing a new concept might clarify the situation.

 I will consider implementing this in 1.36.
