/**
* This interface provides a mechanism to control an output stream
* that takes care not to overwrite an existing target until it is known
* that all writes to the destination succeeded.
*
* An object that supports this interface is intended to also support
* nsIOutputStream.
*
* For example, a file output stream that supports this interface writes to
* a temporary file, and moves it over the original file when |finish| is
* called only if the stream can be successfully closed and all writes
* succeeded. If |finish| is called but something went wrong during
* writing, it will delete the temporary file and not touch the original.
* If the stream is closed by calling |close| directly, or the stream
* goes away, the original file will not be overwritten, and the temporary
* file will be deleted.
*
* Currently, this interface is implemented only for file output streams.
