These types of Buffers use a shared underlying Uhm, at the moment it's called .getIterator() instead of .iterator(). I also agree that it should be auto cancelled and auto closed, as (async) iterators most often are single consumer.

Given the precedent that is somewhat being established in WICG/kv-storage#6, I am wondering whether we should rename .iterator() to .values(), hmm.

This would make easier to move code between nodejs and the browser. There are three primary types of objects: This example creates a simple ReadableStream that pushes the current After realizing we'd have to make releaseLock() return an empty object, I'm leaning toward the latter. .

Closes the readable side of the transport and causes the writable side given. Mixing iteration with using readers is not something I'd want to encourage. You can break out of the first loop when you get to the end of the header, and then have a second loop which processes the body. Excellent!
