-- Stream of external side-effects.

-- Unlike other `Stream`s, this is not updated/set by an `Op` instace, but is
-- continuously polled for changes by the runtime and may mark itself as
-- *dirty* at any point in time. All runtime execution happens due to IOStream
-- updates, which ripple through the `Result` tree.

  --- construct a new IOStream.
  --

  --
  -- Must return a boolean indicating whether `Op`s that refer to this instance
  -- via `Input.hot` should be notified (via `Op:tick`). May be called multiple
  -- times. May be called before `tick` on the first frame after construction.
