/**
 * @fileoverview the API spec for the closure polyfill of Node stream.Readable.
 *
 * Node streams API is specified at https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html
 *
 * Only a subset of Node streams API (under the object mode) will be supported.
 *
 * It's our belief that Node and whatwg streams will eventually
 * converge. As it happens, we will add a whatwg streams polyfill too.
 * (https://github.com/whatwg/streams)
 *
 * This API requires no special server-side support other than the standard
 * HTTP semantics. Message framing only relies on MIME types such as JSON
 * to support atomic message delivery (e.g. elements of a JSON array).
 * Other streaming-related features such as cancellation and keep-alive are
 * exposed/constrained by the Node streams API semantics.
 *
 * Flow-control support is limited due to the underlying use of XHR. That is,
 * this version will assume the "flowing mode", and the read method is not
 * provided.
 *
