+ * Close, Flush, Write, WriteFrom, or WriteSegments.  A non-blocking output
+ * stream, on the other hand, must not block the calling thread of execution.

+ * NOTE: blocking output streams are often written to on a background thread to
+ * avoid locking up the main application thread.  For this reason, it is
+ * generally the case that a blocking output stream should be implemented using
+ * thread- safe AddRef and Release.
