Re: [whatwg/encoding] Rename Encoding's "streams" to "token queues" (#215)

Thanks. Given your feedback it seems somewhat tempting to try to remove the need for prepend and add the ability to enqueue multiple items to queues. If we go with a list subtype I think we need a different name from queues. Maybe consumable list or some such?

Yeah, I think that would be better. Even if we allow conversions without explicit casting it seems best for these algorithms to operate as if they are getting an I/O stream.
