StringStream
============

[](#stringstream)

Stream wrapper for strings. Basically, like php://temp except that you can have multiple streams at once, and can pre-initialise the contents. This was never tested by my past self, php://temp is in fact not shared between handles and this package was never needed. Just use php://temp
