/// this means that events emitted by broadcast streams will be dropped until
/// [stream] has a listener.**
///
/// If the `StreamGroup` is constructed using [new StreamGroup], [stream] will
/// be single-subscription. In this case, if [stream] is paused or canceled, all
/// streams in the group will likewise be paused or canceled, respectively.
///
/// If the `StreamGroup` is constructed using [new StreamGroup.broadcast],
/// [stream] will be a broadcast stream. In this case, the streams in the group
/// will never be paused and single-subscription streams in the group will never
/// be canceled. **Note that single-subscription streams in a broadcast group
/// may drop events if a listener is added and later removed.** Broadcast
/// streams in the group will be canceled once [stream] has no listeners, and
/// will be listened to again once [stream] has listeners.

/// in the group closes.
