I think I tend to agree with you there, especially when considering that
STDIO does not fit that well in the I/O programming model of Squid.

Well.. most of the needed code are there already. For this type of
operation memBufPrintf and file_write_mbuf seem like the most
appropriate ones. If you really feel like doing some invention, add a
file_printf call which wraps the two together, hiding the MemBuf magic
from the caller...
