/**
* Goals:
*
* (1) Model streams after NSPR I/O, thus making implementation easy and transparent
* (2) Allow both - blocking and non-blocking operations within the same API framework
* and in doing so streamlining the way application is developed
* (3) All stream implenetations become uniformed in both - blocking and non0blocking
* modes, thus taking partially the functionality of nsIOChannel's and allow simple
* transparent chaining of streams without encouraging excessive buffering
*
* This model will not support NT-style overlapped I/O; there's no good expression for it
* within NSPR either - do we need it?
*
* Changes:
* gagan: streams will not inherit from nsI*Stream to not confuse them with existing
* streams as behavior is a bit different
* ruslan: streams will not have a common base class and Close () operation - this will
* have to be done in the destructor
* ruslan: output stream will not have Flush () operation - this will need to be moved
* into some new BufferedWriter interface
