If you look at the text of the feature request [1], you'll see that
Simon Harris suggests a stream based API. This is what I meant.

The API is not specified down to the code level, but the most simple
approach would be to pass a Set of InputStreams to the Checker instead
of passing a set of Files like we do now. As I said in my earlier
mail, that is a simple solution but it has its drawbacks.

Cheers,
Lars
