Using
(typep obj 'stream)
effectively makes the generic function STREAMP not very useful since all streams need to subclass STREAM, which always returns T for STREAMP. This is an optional part of the Gray stream protocol. Some implementations enforce the requirement that streams must subclass STREAM, i.e. CMUCL, SBCL and CLISP. On the other hand Clasp, ECL, MKCL, Mezzano and CCL all implement the generic STREAMP and don't require that Gray streams subclass STREAM.
