As of now, our writers always expect a file name to be provided and then open an output file to write to the given name. This PR adds a set of function that instead allow to pass in a stream / file object, instead. This allows us to pass other types of streams (e.g. in-memory streams) rather than just files and thus makes the API more flexible.
