    ReadWriteStreams allow both read- and write-access to some collection.
    To allow this, they reenable some methods blocked in WriteStream.
    (being one of the seldom places, where multiple inheritance could be
     of good use in smalltalk).

    [caveat:]
        Basing capabilities like readability/writability/positionability/peekability on inheritance makes
        the class hierarchy ugly and leads to strange and hard to teach redefinitions (aka. NonPositionableStream
        below PositionableStream or ExternalReadStream under WriteStream)

    Claus:
        I personally find the ReadStream - WriteStream - ReadWriteStream
        organization brain-damaged. It would be better to have an attribute
        (such as readOnly / writeOnly / readWrite) in an InternalStream subclass 
        of Stream ...
