Proposal for new option -U extending -u

Currently -u specifies that stdin, stdout and stderr are all
unbuffered. I propose a that -U make all files unbuffered. It could be
useful for programs that log to files.

Comments solicited.

'-U' is already taken (for unicode only strings). Other than that I
have no opinion (don't think I'd use it...).

All the best,

Unnecessary. You can control the buffering of any file object you
create yourself, e.g. open("somefile",buffering=0) to create an
unbuffered file object. The reason you need a switch for stdin,
stdout, stderr is you don't create those objects yourself.
