Arranges for all accesses go straight to the lowest buffered layer provided
by the configration. That is it strips off any layers above that layer.
-In Perl 5.6 and some books the C<:raw> layer (also called a discipline)
-is documented as the inverse of the C<:crlf> layer. That is no longer
-the case - other layers which would alter binary nature of the
-stream are also disabled. If you want UNIX line endings on a platform
-that normally does CRLF translation, but still want UTF-8 or encoding
-defaults the appropriate thing to do is to add C<:perlio> to PERLIO
-environment variable.

+On Win32 platforms this I<experimental> layer uses native "handle" IO
rather than unix-like numeric file descriptor layer. Known to be
buggy in this release.
On all platforms the default set of layers should give acceptable results.
-For UNIX platfroms that will equivalent of "unix perlio" or "stdio".

Configure is setup to prefer "stdio" implementation if system's library
provides for fast access to the buffer, otherwise it uses the "unix perlio"
implementation.
