Hell, no. Programs expect a certain buffer mode and perhaps would work
unexpectedly if this changes. By setting a mode to unbuffered, for instance,
you can easily DoS a system. I can think about enough other reasons why this is
a terrible idea. Programs explicitly must request a buffering scheme so that it
matches the way the program uses the stream.
