In addition of a code readability, there is a description in the doc
that mentions "Stream End" but we describe "Stream Stop" in the later
description, which seems a bug in the doc to me:

The following messages (Stream Start, Stream End, Stream Commit, and
Stream Abort) are available since protocol version 2.

Perhaps it's better to hear other opinions too, but I've attached the
patch. Please review it.
