This is an interesting idea. But I'm not entirely clear on your proposal. Is [1] where you mentioned it, or is there another thread I've missed?

You're not proposing changing the stream constructor, but rather also defining a generic way an API can add support for stream by implementing a strongly-defined createStream method?

Is your thinking to have this in order to give users a consistent way to obtain a stream from various APIs? 
On first thought I like the idea, but I think once we settle on a definition of 'Stream', we can asses what is really required for other APIs to begin supporting it. If so, I can create a bug to track this concept.
