     * state at a time.  Correct usage is to instantiate one, write or read from it as desired, and
     * then destroy it.
     *
     * The console streams accept UTF-8 encoded data, and attempt to write it to the attached
     * console faithfully.
     *
     * TODO(schwerin): If no console is attached on Windows (services), should writes here go to the
     * event logger?
