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

Reviewed the discussion in this thread. Yes, I still like the plan to add options to getReader().

Regarding the name, I think "buffer-provided" and "buffer-fed" are the candidates I'm still considering in addition to "byob".

- mode: "byob"
- mode: "buffer-fed"
- mode: "buffer-provided"

BTW, the differentiation between "auto pull" and "manual pull" discussed around https://github.com/whatwg/streams/issues/294#issuecomment-81428113 has been well depicted in the [new examples](https://streams.spec.whatwg.org/#creating-examples) written by Domenic.

https://github.com/whatwg/streams/pull/430#discussion_r57444278 is also related.

In the latest spec, we chose to have the controllers expose queuing status via the `desiredSize()` getter to delegate pulling decision to the underlying source. Auto/manual pull is no longer part of the readable stream (and controller / reader) API but characteristics of underlying sources.
