So, you're suggesting that we make Stream be a convenient point where we
can dam up data flow and skip adding methods to pausing data producing and
consuming to producer/consumer APIs? I.e. we make it able to prevent data
queued in a Stream from being read. This typically means asynchronously
suspending ongoing pipe() or read() call on the Stream with no-argument or
very large argument.
