Abstract interface for a "sink" accepting multiple entire streams.

A consumer can accept a number of consequtive streams using addStream, and when no further data need to be added, the close method tells the consumer to complete its work and shut down.

This class is not just a Sink because it is also combined with other Sink classes, like it's combined with EventSink in the StreamSink class.

The Stream.pipe accepts a StreamConsumer and will pass the stream to the consumer's addStream method. When that completes, it will call close and then complete its own returned future.

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

noSuchMethod is invoked when users invoke a non-existent method on an object. The name of the method and the arguments of the invocation are passed to noSuchMethod in an Invocation. If noSuchMethod returns a value, that value becomes the result of the original invocation.
