        Stream


Wrap the result of iterparse:
* start-ns and end-ns are interpreted, (prefix, uri) pairs being pushed
  and popped accordingly in attribute `namespaces`
* start and end events are accessible through the `event` and `elem`

Unlike iterators, a `Stream` has a notion of "current" item (accessible
through `event` and `elem`. To access the next element, the `forward`
method must be explicitly invoked. If it reaches the end, `event` and
`elem` will be None.

Note that a `Stream` is also iterable. The first yielded item will be the
current item. If the iteration is interrupted, the current item will be
the last yielded item.
