I'm not sure what the purpose of streams would be, now that we have
ranges.
We still need streams for low-level i/o. e.g. FILE * is a stream.
ranges are good for high-level concepts, like a range of lines from a
stream. Or a range of XML nodes. Ranges are not good for reading N bytes
from a file descriptor.
