Silly question: where is the implementation of bonobo_stream_storage_open().
I am
unable to find it.

And what is with the bonobo_storage_write_class_id and
bonobo_stream_write_class_id functions?

It seems that there are drivers which can create Streams without a parent
Storage (fs and vfs driver). We can implement:

BonoboStream   *bonobo_stream_open         (const char *driver,
                                              const char *path,
                                              gint flags,
                                              gint mode);

and add a bonobo_stream_driver_open () function to each driver
that supports it.

What do you think?
