----------------------------------------
Ruby's IO class has a general model for streaming IO, including some hidden classes like `IO::generic_readable` and `IO::generic_writable`.

As Ruby's core IO classes evolve, gems like `openssl` (see `OpenSSL::Buffering`) need to be updated to support changes to the interface.

As it stands, there are changes in `IO` which are not copied to `OpenSSL::Buffering`. I'd like to propose we introduce some shared interface for streams that is used by `IO`, `Socket`, and `OpenSSL` to start with. The general interface would be similar to `IO` and allow code like `OpenSSL` to avoid re-implementing the `IO` interface.
