Which says:

> Subclassing Notes

The NSOutputStream is a concrete subclass of NSStream that lets you write
data to a stream. Although NSOutputStream is probably sufficient for most
situations requiring this capability, you can create a subclass of
NSOutputStream if you want more specialized behavior (for example, you want
to record statistics on the data in a stream).


Seems to be concrete to me. Nevertheless, calling it on super does throw an
exception; you might just try calling [super init] and see what happens.

Note that you'll also get exceptions on [super open] and [super close] in
those respective methods, since they're not defined on the superclass.  Look
at the subclassing notes on both NSStream and NSOutputStream, and you'll be
closer.
