    This class provides a hook for general objects to behave like Stream objects.

    To the outside, actorStreams behave like streams and respond to the

    usual stream messages (i.e. nextPut:, nextPutAll: etc).

    In the inside, for every nextPut-message, the nextPutBlock is evaluated

    passing the argument of nextPut: as block argument.

    These blocks are to be provided by the user of the ActorStream.

    Example use is in the Transcript, which is made Stream-like this way.

    [Instance variables:]

        nextPutBlock    <Block>   the block to evaluate for nextPut:-messages

        nextPutAllBlock <Block>   same for nextPutAll:-messages

        nextBlock       <Block>   the Block to evaluate for the next element
