I'm not sure whether anyone has really checked it though, but I guess it
can be fixed later if something breaks :)

'stream/'. It's the shortest name and most logical. Names starting with
'lib' are just misleading since it's not an independent library but just
a subdirectory for files having something in common. Consistency with
existing names has been suggested as a reason to use 'lib', but I see no
practical value for such consistency in this case (even if the rest
aren't renamed). 'lib' does have practical disadvantages as it's longer
and hinders tab completion.
