/**
	Generic stream interface used by several stream-like classes.

	This module defines the basic (buffered) stream primitives. For concrete stream types, take a
	look at the `vibe.stream` package. The `vibe.stream.operations` module contains additional
	high-level operations on streams, such as reading streams by line or as a whole.

	Note that starting with vibe-core 1.0.0, streams can be of either `struct`  or `class` type.
	Any APIs that take streams as a parameter should use a template type parameter that is tested
	using the appropriate trait (e.g. `isInputStream`) instead of assuming the specific interface
	type (e.g. `InputStream`).
