/**
 * Stream-parameter template for flexible structures.
 *
 * Base template to define a stream setting/tuning or info based on a flexible structure and
 * an optional ParamIndex. Stream parameters are tied to a specific stream on a port (input or
 * output).
 *
 * \tparam T param type C2Setting, C2Tuning or C2Info
 * \tparam S wrapped flexible structure
 * \tparam ParamIndex optional parameter index override. Must be specified for base/reused
 *         structures.
 *
 * 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.
