Well, I wrote it few days ago. I'm sure it is not critical, but I
suppose it may be useful. This is my first patch, so I think that it is
good idea to sent it and have it reviewed anyway. First argument to send
it, is to see what kind of errors I made, to not do them in the next
patches. Second, if it (flexible appending file to buffer) appears
interesting for reviewer, it may be committed.
