Re: [whatwg/streams] Piping to writable streams with HWM 0? (#1158)

> My best guess was something like "I currently have nothing in the queue, and I intend to consume whatever you give me ASAP, but please don't give me more than 1 chunk". But... that seems like the right semantics for HWM = 1. So I admit I'm confused.

"I have no queue, so I couldn't consume a chunk before,  but I'm ready to consume a chunk now (because I have a taker for it)".

(I know it technically has a queue, but the intent of HWM = 0 is for it to remain empty at all times, so for all intents and purposes it's acting like it has no queue).

> Similarly, read requests on the readable end should cause the writable end to also request some data if it doesn't have anything queued yet.

How about `controller.requestData()` ? `controller.pullProducer()` ?

This would be useful for realtime streams where chunks are expensive and prebuffering undesirable (pulling too soon may yield a less fresh realtime frame).
