Re: [streams] Investigate (F)RP literature (#88)

As this spec becomes more constrained by the need to efficiently wrap byte sources and sinks while still presenting a general interface, it's clearer that it's best for streams to harmonize with FRP libraries or paradigms in ECMAScript, but not necessarily be based on or implement them. Kris Kowal's [GTOR](https://github.com/kriskowal/gtor/) goes into some more details on how this might work, and I am optimistic especially that as ES gains e.g. [async iterators](https://github.com/zenparsing/async-iteration/) the integration will be fluid and simple---while not sacrificing our focus on being able to efficiently wrap low-level byte sources and sinks. Closing, but thanks for the prompting and discussion, all!
