Stream tweaks proposal

The stream is a powerful tool, not just for IO, -- but, in the best Unix tradition -- for composition of modules. I've been connecting streams into quite long chains.

Some streams I have written do not alter the data in the stream, but affect it is some way, such as buffering when the stream is paused. pause-stream

Also, I've been writing high level abstractions that communicate via streams, and do some interesting high level stuff, Such as by replicating data, snob and crdt, or multiplexing mux-demux. Another good example is dnode.

These abstractions expose a stream on their interface, and so can be used over any io channel which supports pipe.
