A Stream has certain semantics. ... it doesn't reposition ...

OK, I accept that a Stream is not indexable; after a stream is created, the position on the underlying file is not available for adjustment. The Streams modules in ETH Oberon and A2O have Close procedures. I'd expect Streams.OpenFileReader() and Streams.Close() to be paired. The Mail module opens several streams; there is no Close. Disposal of obsolete streams is left to the garbage collector? If there is risk of obsolete streams occupying to much memory, I should invoke garbage collection? Thx, ...
