  * A combined byte and text output.
  *
  * An [IOSink] combines a [StreamSink] of bytes with a [StringSink],
  * and allows easy output of both bytes and text.
  *
  * Writing text ([write]) and adding bytes ([add]) may be interleaved freely.
  *
  * While a stream is being added using [addStream], any further attempts
  * to add or write to the [IOSink] will fail until the [addStream] completes.
  *
- * It is an error to add data to the [IOSink] after the sink is closed.
+ * If data is added to the [IOSink] after the sink is closed, the data will be
+ * ignored. Use the [done] future to be notified when the [IOSink] is closed.
