-Stream functions
-----------------
-
-.. function:: open_connection(host=None, port=None, *, loop=None, limit=_DEFAULT_LIMIT, **kwds)
-
-   A wrapper for :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.create_connection()` returning a (reader,
-   writer) pair.
-
-   The reader returned is a :class:`StreamReader` instance; the writer is
-   a :class:`StreamWriter` instance.
-
-   The arguments are all the usual arguments to
-   :meth:`BaseEventLoop.create_connection` except *protocol_factory*; most
-   common are positional host and port, with various optional keyword arguments
-   following.
-
-   Additional optional keyword arguments are *loop* (to set the event loop
-   instance to use) and *limit* (to set the buffer limit passed to the
-   :class:`StreamReader`).
-
-   (If you want to customize the :class:`StreamReader` and/or
-   :class:`StreamReaderProtocol` classes, just copy the code -- there's really
-   nothing special here except some convenience.)
-
-   This function returns a :ref:`coroutine object <coroutine>`.
-
-.. function:: start_server(client_connected_cb, host=None, port=None, *, loop=None, limit=_DEFAULT_LIMIT, **kwds)
-
-   Start a socket server, call back for each client connected.
-
-   The first parameter, *client_connected_cb*, takes two parameters:
-   *client_reader*, *client_writer*.  *client_reader* is a
-   :class:`StreamReader` object, while *client_writer* is a
-   :class:`StreamWriter` object.  This parameter can either be a plain callback
-   function or a :ref:`coroutine function <coroutine>`; if it is a coroutine
-   function, it will be automatically converted into a :class:`Task`.
-
-   The rest of the arguments are all the usual arguments to
-   :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.create_server()` except *protocol_factory*; most
-   common are positional host and port, with various optional keyword arguments
-   following.  The return value is the same as
-   :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.create_server()`.
-
-   Additional optional keyword arguments are *loop* (to set the event loop
-   instance to use) and *limit* (to set the buffer limit passed to the
-   :class:`StreamReader`).
-
-   The return value is the same as :meth:`~BaseEventLoop.create_server()`, i.e.
-   a :class:`AbstractServer` object which can be used to stop the service.
-
-   This function returns a :ref:`coroutine object <coroutine>`.
-
-
-StreamReader
-------------
-
-.. class:: StreamReader(limit=_DEFAULT_LIMIT, loop=None)
-
-   .. method:: exception()
-
-      Get the exception.
-
-   .. method:: feed_eof()
-
-      XXX
-
-   .. method:: feed_data(data)
-
-      XXX
-
-   .. method:: set_exception(exc)
-
-      Set the exception.
-
-   .. method:: set_transport(transport)
-
-      Set the transport.
-
-   .. method:: read(n=-1)
-
-      XXX
-
-      This method returns a :ref:`coroutine object <coroutine>`.
-
-   .. method:: readline()
-
-      XXX
-
-      This method returns a :ref:`coroutine object <coroutine>`.
-
-   .. method:: readexactly(n)
-
-      XXX
-
-      This method returns a :ref:`coroutine object <coroutine>`.
-
-
-StreamWriter
-------------
-
-.. class:: StreamWriter(transport, protocol, reader, loop)
-
-   Wraps a Transport.
-
-   This exposes :meth:`write`, :meth:`writelines`, :meth:`can_write_eof()`,
-   :meth:`write_eof`, :meth:`get_extra_info` and :meth:`close`.  It adds
-   :meth:`drain` which returns an optional :class:`Future` on which you can
-   wait for flow control.  It also adds a transport attribute which references
-   the :class:`Transport` directly.
-
-   .. attribute:: transport
-
-      Transport.
-
-   .. method:: close()
-
-      Close the transport: see :meth:`BaseTransport.close`.
-
-   .. method:: drain()
-
-      This method has an unusual return value.
-
-      The intended use is to write::
-
-          w.write(data)
-          yield from w.drain()
-
-      When there's nothing to wait for, :meth:`drain()` returns ``()``, and the
-      yield-from continues immediately.  When the transport buffer is full (the
-      protocol is paused), :meth:`drain` creates and returns a
-      :class:`Future` and the yield-from will block until
-      that Future is completed, which will happen when the buffer is
-      (partially) drained and the protocol is resumed.
-
-   .. method:: get_extra_info(name, default=None)
-
-      Return optional transport information: see
-      :meth:`BaseTransport.get_extra_info`.
-
-   .. method:: write(data)
-
-      Write some *data* bytes to the transport: see
-      :meth:`WriteTransport.write`.
-
-   .. method:: writelines(data)
-
-      Write a list (or any iterable) of data bytes to the transport:
-      see :meth:`WriteTransport.writelines`.
-
-   .. method:: can_write_eof()
-
-      Return :const:`True` if the transport supports :meth:`write_eof`,
-      :const:`False` if not. See :meth:`WriteTransport.can_write_eof`.
-
-   .. method:: write_eof()
-
-      Close the write end of the transport after flushing buffered data:
-      see :meth:`WriteTransport.write_eof`.
-
-
-StreamReaderProtocol
---------------------
-
-.. class:: StreamReaderProtocol(stream_reader, client_connected_cb=None, loop=None)
-
-    Trivial helper class to adapt between :class:`Protocol` and
-    :class:`StreamReader`. Sublclass of :class:`Protocol`.
-
-    *stream_reader* is a :class:`StreamReader` instance, *client_connected_cb*
-    is an optional function called with (stream_reader, stream_writer) when a
-    connection is made, *loop* is the event loop instance to use.
-
-    (This is a helper class instead of making :class:`StreamReader` itself a
-    :class:`Protocol` subclass, because the :class:`StreamReader` has other
-    potential uses, and to prevent the user of the :class:`StreamReader` to
-    accidentally call inappropriate methods of the protocol.)
-
-    .. method:: connection_made(transport)
-
-       XXX

-    .. method:: connection_lost(exc)
