I don't think IO#>> is useful because `io >> a >> b' is not easier to
read for me.  Would you show me some examples of use?

And I have a question. How can the length of input be determined?  
Do you think `$/' for the separator? It probably requires that the io
supports ungetc or rewinding feature. 

On the other hand, in Kernel module a method which is named `load' is
already defined as a function to load and to execute.
