MattiasBuelens left a comment (whatwg/streams#1388)

I always found this to be a weird part of the specification... Is it really the *byte source*'s fault that the BYOB reader is trying to do a multi-byte `read(view)`, but there just aren't any more bytes? 🤔

I'm wondering if we should just get rid of the "throw _e_" in step 4.2.3, and let the byte source tear down "normally" while only the reader gets the error.
