Coreutils doesn't need that, as it doesn't have the problem.  The two
apps that I thought might have the problem solve it in a different
way.  'head' bypasses stdio.  'od -N' sets the stdio input buffer size
to 1 (which is slow and goes beyond what POSIX requires, but it does
work).

So I suggest creating a new module 'closein' instead.
