	/**
	 * Numerically Indexed Data Streams.  This is a working name so I can
	 * actually get some code written instead of agonizing over the name.
	 *
	 * This is a system for creating streams that contain other streams in
	 * a flexible block-allocated system.
	 *
	 * Header format is as follows:
	 *
	 * MMMMvBssssSSSS*
	 * M = Magic number
	 * v = version number
	 * B = Bits per int
	 * s = Blocksize in bytes
	 * S = Number of Streams
	 * 
	 * The * represents the Stream headers, one per stream, as follows:
	 * IIIIssss$
	 * I = Id number of the stream
	 * s = size of stream in bytes
	 *
	 * The $ represents the Block headers, one per used block, as  follows:
	 * IIII
	 * I = Index of the block
	 *
	 * The stream/block data is interleaved in the header, so all blocks stored
	 * with one stream are together.  The block headers are in order, and the
	 * data in them is required to be "solid" you cannot fill partial blocks
	 * mid-way through a stream.
	 *
	 * The initial block starts with the nids header, and is both the zero block
	 * and the zero stream.  For now, the minimum block size is the size needed
	 * to store the base header, the zero stream header, and the first two
	 * blocks of the zero stream, so 30 bytes.  Since it's reccomended to use
	 * a size that will fit evenly into filesystem blocks, then a size of 32 is
	 * probably the smallest reccomended size because all powers of two equal
	 * to or greater than 32 are evenly divisible by 32.
	 *
	 * I have had a thought that if the block size were smaller than 42 bytes
	 * the header would consume the first N blocks where N * block size is
	 * enough space to house the initial header, the first stream header, and
	 * the first N block headers.  This, of course, causes you to hit an
	 * infinite header if the block size is small enough.
