I'm not really happy about focusing on "line at a time". It's a useful
and common case, but Emacs usually is pretty good about being "line
agnostic" (font-lock being an obvious counter example).
Providing some kind of stream-processing functionality might be good,
tho the need doesn't seem terribly high, since we've managed to avoid it
until now.
FWIW, another option is to provide an open-file-stream along the same
lines as open-network-stream. I.e. the chunks are received via
a process filter.
