> Concurrency for the [streaming] ecosystem

The primary purpose for this library is to be able to merge multiple
`Stream`s together.  However, it is possible to build higher
abstractions on top of this to be able to also feed multiple streams.

----------------------

The code here is heavily based upon -- and borrows the underlying
`Buffer` code from -- Gabriel Gonzalez's [pipes-concurrency].  It
differs from it primarily in being more bracket-oriented rather than
providing a `spawn` primitive, thus not requiring explicit garbage
collection.
