I just got scared with this method.  The biggest problem I'm seeing here is a
global state.  What if I'm in a multithreaded situation?  I realize I'm going to
have problems writing to the same stream from two different threads, but would
this maintain a different state for each stream?  I didn't look at the code so my
concern may be unfounded.
