só pra mim não esquecer

stubs_xmlStream.js

const xmlStream = require('xml-stream')
    , fs = require('fs')
      
var stream = fs.createReadStream(__dirname+'./filename.xml')
  , xml = new xmlStream(stream)
    
xml.preserve('some_subnode', true)
xml.collect('subtime_from_some_subnode')
xml.on('endElement: item', function (node) {
  console.log(node)
})

I hate that appearance, albeit this code-style is useful so plenty at diff'ing moments.
