Term "Stream" usually used if variable is used as a stream,
which means that output which is usually goes to
result text is redirected to a variable.
In this case, we say that "stream" is open.
Output to result text is suppressed if even one stream is open.
To open stream x, the following action can be issued:
.+x
A few streams can be open concurrently. For example:
.+y .+stream2 ...
To stop redirecting output data to a stream x, action
.-x
can be issued.
To stop redirecting to all streams, action
.-
can be issued.
To open stream "x" with initial x value x="",
action .*x can be used instead of .+x
