If std.stream is going to stay around much longer (not necessarily
recommended), a simple but useful enhancement would be to include a dummy
output stream, similar to /dev/null.  This would be useful when a function or
block of code expects an output stream, and you want to simply dispose of the
output.

If std.stream is going to be deprecated in the foreseeable future, then
whatever replaces it should have this feature.
