Re: [whatwg/encoding] Add Streams support (#72)

The non-determinism creates a footgun which in my opinion means we should strongly discourage mixing the APIs.

I'm also skeptical of explaining the behaviour of decode() in terms of a fictional synchronous streams API. I feel it doesn't mesh well with the very concrete way that Encoding and Streams are specified.

Of course, we could really add a synchronous API to Streams, but I think that would be a lose-lose-lose proposition for standard authors, implementers and developers alike.
