documentation
"
    This class provides common protocol for all non-positionable,
    external streams. Concrete subclasses are terminal streams, pipe streams,
    PrinterStreams, Sockets etc.

    There are three special instances of this class, representing stdin,
    stdout and stderr of the smalltalk/X process (see Unix manuals, if you
    dont know what those are used for). These special streams are bound to
    to globals Stdin, Stdout and Stderr at early initialization time
    (see Smalltalk>>initializeStandardStreams).

    The name of this class is a historical leftover - it should be called
    'TTYStream' or similar.
