Well, suppose the implementation doesn't provide any utilities that mess with
the value of *terminal-io*: it might initialize it on startup and that's
that. If *terminal-io* is never changed in system code, and users aren't
supposed to change it, why bother with the synonym stream? I think the manual
is being overly restrictive here....
