Re: [whatwg/streams] Brainstorming a buffer-reusing version of writable streams (#495)

@isonmad We need a four-letter acronym for your suggestion, to go with BYOB and KYOB (Keep Your Own Buffer). I propose PUTB (Please Use This Buffer). I guess RBYOB also works.

 It's appealing, but it doesn't resemble any low-level IO primitive I remember seeing.

Are there use-cases for zero-copy transform streams? Every useful stream I can think of has to at least read and write every byte, at which point zero-copy doesn't gain you much.
