 *
 * Parameters wrap structures by prepending a (parameter) header. The fields and methods of flexible
 * structures can be accessed via the m member variable; however, the constructors of the structure
 * are wrapped directly. (This is because flexible types cannot be subclassed.)
 *
 * There are 3 flavors of stream parameters: unspecified port, input and output. All of these expose
 * a setStream method and an extra initial streamID parameter for the constructor. Moreover,
 * parameters with unspecified port expose a setPort method, and add an additional initial port
 * parameter to the constructor.
