+ELEMENT-TYPE defaults to CHARACTER, to construct a bivalent stream,
+capable of both binary and character IO use :DEFAULT.
+
+Acceptable values for BUFFERING are :FULL, :LINE and :NONE, default
+is :FULL, ie. output is buffered till it is explicitly flushed using
+CLOSE or FINISH-OUTPUT. (FORCE-OUTPUT forces some output to be
+flushed: to ensure all buffered output is flused use FINISH-OUTPUT.)
+
+Streams have no TIMEOUT by default. If one is provided, it is the
+number of seconds the system will at most wait for input to appear on
+the socket stream when trying to read from it.
+
+If AUTO-CLOSE is true, the underlying OS socket is automatically
+closed after the stream and the socket have been garbage collected.
+Default is false.
+
+If SERVE-EVENTS is true, blocking IO on the socket will dispatch to
+the recursive event loop. Default is false.
+
+The stream for SOCKET will be cached, and a second invocation of this
+method will return the same stream. This may lead to oddities if this
+function is invoked with inconsistent arguments \(e.g., one might
+request an input stream and get an output stream in response\)."
