Re: [whatwg/streams] Misuse of `Assert` in spec (Issue #1327)

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction! You're absolutely right. I didn't realize that:

- WebIDL has runtime behavior (and isn't just an inert description like `.d.ts` files
- "Method steps" isn't the *entire* description of what the function does. It happens in the context of ["create an operation function"](https://webidl.spec.whatwg.org/#dfn-create-operation-function).
