While thinking a bit more about Andres' proposal, It occurred to me that
such an object, which, for the sake of argument might be called
SequencedStream (with OrderedCollection-like behavior, as well as Stream
behavior), would own/maintain one or more Stream instances of a given Stream
type.  If one were interested in streaming over several different kinds of
objects, perhaps another object, ComplexSteam (a subclass of
SequencedStream), could be used.

I'm not sure if the distinction is useful, but there it is.  :-)

I suppose it might also be useful if SequencedStream maintained separate
stream pointers for each of its sub-streams.  Thus you could simulate a
system bus, etc.

Well, I guess I've spent my 2 bits...  ;-)
