Huh?  Because TextWriter does not inherit from Stream,
there's no need to do this at all.  StreamWriter *uses* a
stream, but doesn't inherit from it either.  And StringWriter
doesn't need streams at all.  I'm confused as to where
the problem is.  AllTypes.xml doesn't document this case,
because there is no case, so to speak.
