/**
 * A dedicated output stream that produces a {@link StreamStateHandle} when closed.
 *
 * Important: When closing this stream after the successful case, you must call {@link
 * #closeAndGetHandle()} - only that method will actually retain the resource written to. The method
 * has the semantics of "close on success". The {@link #close()} method is supposed to remove the
 * target resource if called before {@link #closeAndGetHandle()}, hence having the semantics of
 * "close on failure". That way, simple try-with-resources statements automatically clean up
 * unsuccessful partial state resources in case the writing does not complete.
 *
 * 
Note: This is an abstract class and not an interface because {@link OutputStream} is an
 * abstract class.
