   <para>
    Allows you to implement your own protocol handlers and streams for use
    with all the other filesystem functions (such as <function>fopen</function>,
    <function>fread</function> etc.).
   </para>
   <note>
    <para>
     This is <emphasis>NOT</emphasis> a real class, only a prototype of how
     a class defining its own protocol should be. 
    </para>
   </note>
   <note>
    <para>
     Implementing the methods in other ways than described here can lead to
     undefined behaviour.
    </para>
   </note>
   <para>
    An instance of this class is initialized as soon as a stream function
    tries to access the protocol it is associated with.
