:-S The better way would be to just depend on a Stream interface
and switch implementations by instantiating different classes. -> 
The used Stream interface would of course need to be factored out 
of vibe, ideally into the standard library.

This would be way more flexible: Users of the library can use 
either implementation without even having to recompile the 
library. No additional runtime cost either.

"-version" should not be used too liberally in my opinion, 
because it is really inflexible, especially when it comes to 
binary/shared libraries.
