It doesn't, but I'm not sure how it could. It's not possible for a single 
data type to be two different streams at the same time. Moreover, at least 
some of the time, the result isn't going to a stream at all. And I haven't 
personally seen a case where the extra cost of copying the data is 
significant (the target stream/API being much slower). I could see where it 
might matter, particularly in a transfer to some other kind of memory.
