/**
* {@link InputStream}-representing interface to be used in API contracts.
* <p>
* Interfaces modelling API should always use {@link IInputStream} instead
* of {@link InputStream}, because this facilitates the usage of
* {@linkplain Proxy proxies}. Proxies are needed to use APIs accross
* local-server/-client boundaries.
* <p>
* To convert between {@link InputStream} and {@link IInputStream}, use
* {@link StreamUtil#castStream(IInputStream)} or {@link StreamUtil#castStream(InputStream)}.
* <p>
* It is recommended that you statically import {@code StreamUtil.*} whenever
* you need a {@code castStream(...)}. Also, you should register this in your IDE
* as a favorite for static method imports.
* <p>
* <b>Important note about the naming:</b> We usually <i>never</i> use the "I-for-interface"
* naming scheme! It sucks! But due to the fact that we already have "InputStream" rather than
* "InputStreamImpl", we exceptionally use the "I"-prefix here.
