Pretty cool. Could the following be used as a baseline to create the same functionality?

    async function * nextStreamEntry() { 
      while(true){
        const entry = yield;
        const result = await processEntry(entry);
      }
    }

    // Initialize the iterator
    const iter = nextStreamEntry();
    iter.next();

    // For every entry of the stream
    for (const monster of results) {
      iter.next(monster)
    }

yes!

I would love to, but not all node versions and not all streams support async iteration yet! Also theres is a lot of utility to some of the stream types in bluestream. Concurrency for one thing. I've been working on an async iterator version of this but haven't yet started using it in production yet.
