Re: [whatwg/streams] What should we call ReadableByteStream.prototype.getBYOBReader()? (#294)

In addition to https://github.com/whatwg/streams/issues/294#issuecomment-202748216, I'm thinking about the case in which we need to introduce the read() with ack functionality. If we introduce the feature, we would need to also add a new interface to the controller. Then, the controller will gain one more new feature in addition to BYOB. Considering such possibility, I was leaning toward giving more general name to it. Of course, we could just add a new controller. WDYT?

OK. Let's go in "byob".
