The Stream Mystery

Streams are one of the things that are pretty confusing to me in the Mozilla/XPCOM code base. Today it happened again. So I set down to demystify this stream mystery.

As a starter I listed the variety of stream related interfaces. I have listed only the input streams. For most items listed here there is a output stream counterpart.
