Hi,

Can I use rio to gzip a string to a string, bypassing the filesystem ?

New and Improved -- Rio 0.3.4

== Overview

Rio is a Ruby I/O convenience class wrapping much of the functionality
of IO, File and Dir. Rio also uses FileUtils, Tempfile, StringIO,
OpenURI, Zlib, and CSV to provide similar functionality using a simple
consistent interface. In addition to forwarding the interfaces provided
by IO, File, and Dir to an appropriate object, Rio provides a "grande"
interface that allows many common application-level I/O and file-system
tasks to be expressed succinctly.
