Re: [whatwg/streams] Cloning (not teeing) a readable stream, via controller tricks (#599)

With my implementer hat on, I am naturally opposed as it is more work.

Without my implementer hat on, I am on the fence. I think it definitely shouldn't be exposed in the public API right now. It's easier to add a public API for an abstract operation than it is to remove a public API once you've added it.

A couple of questions I don't know the answers to

1. How large is the expected performance benefit?
2. Can it be implemented by browsers without being explicitly specced?
