I don't know how we'll we've stuck to this convention in the existing code,
but my original intention was that loads(loaded a single record and load_stream
loaded a stream of records. If you wanted, we could conditionally define
`loads` based on whether we've set `use_unicode`, which would allow the
serializer to be used to deserialize an individual element or a stream.
