Is there a reason why SmartRefStream has such a radically different
interface than ReferenceStream, even though it's a direct subclass? That
seems really misleading. At the very least, the class comment should say
explicitly, right at the top, that SmartRefStream should only be used via
FileStream, but to be honest that's just a superficial band-aid over a
horrible design bug. Either the class should be renamed and broken out of
the hierarchy or it should obey the same rules as its parent class.
