Re: [whatwg/streams] add @@asyncIterator to ReadableStreamDefaultReader (#950)

I'm not sure I agree with this reasoning. In general, we provide higher-level utilities on the stream, notably pipeTo() and tee(). Under the scenes, those use readers. But they're intentionally meant to allow consumers to not care about the whole reader paradigm.

In contrast, when you're using a reader, these high-level conveniences are not interesting or necessary---you're doing chunk-wise manual manipulation.
