Stream designators are conveniences when creating source code. It makes for compact expression.
BUT: can (or should?) stream designators be used deeper down, as entities resolved during actual evaluation?
Specifically wondering about SYNONYM-STREAM.
The [dynamic] variable of such a stream holds the value on which an operation is to be performed.

The dynamic variable held by the synonym stream is described as having
a stream value, not a stream designator value.
