from the XML stream. A stream handler is encapsulated in a
object that includes a :class:`Matcher <.MatcherBase>` object
which provides additional semantics.

:meth:`.XMLStream.event`.
stanza object

or :class:`.StanzaBase`, and to objects of such classes.
A stanza object is a wrapper for an XML object which exposes :class:`dict`
like interfaces which may be assigned to, read from, or deleted.
stanza plugin
A :term:`stanza object` which has been registered as a potential child
of another stanza object. The plugin stanza may accessed through the
parent stanza using the plugin's ``plugin_attrib`` as an interface.
