The readfile/pipe tests rely on pre-existing pipes in the system. This arguably tests the OS functionality and not really io.js functionality. Removing TODOs.

The readfile/pipe tests rely on a pre-existing pipe in the system (namely,
/dev/stdin). This does not exist on Windows.There doesn't seem to be an easy way (or perhaps any way?) to do all of:
STDIN...I tried a few creative-ish things (including abusing
net.createServer().listen()to trick Node into creating a named pipe and then trying to get cmd.exe to write to that pipe), but no dice.Here's the commit where this comment was initially introduced, if that helps: 1d3d02c
In the current code base, the line in
lib.fsthat is being changed is now https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/blob/5d2b846d1114bad5e7fbf04910ff59fc970c175e/lib/fs.js#L288Changing-1toposin that line does not result in the corresponding test failing, so it's not clear that the test is addressing the change in that commit anymore (if it ever did?).There is no reason to expect Windows to ever have this functionality.
So, in the interest of weed-whacking out all the TODOs in the tests, these should seemingly be removed. If there's consensus that this is wrong and it actually does capture useful information, perhaps it can be moved to the issue tracker rather than lurking in a code TODO.
Apologies in advance for another in a tedious series of TODO-removal PRs...
