streaming: A free monad transformer optimized for streaming applications.

Stream can be used wherever FreeT is used. The compiler's standard range of optimizations work better for operations written in terms of Stream. See the examples in Streaming.Prelude for a sense of how simple the library is to use and think about.

Streaming.Prelude closely follows Pipes.Prelude, but cleverly omits the pipes. It is focused on employment with base functors which generate effectful sequences. These appear elsewhere under titles like

pipes:      Producer a m r, Producer a m (Producer a m r), FreeT (Producer a m) m r
io-streams: InputStream a, Generator a r
conduit:    Source m a, ConduitM () o m r

and the like.

Interoperation with pipes is accomplished with this isomorphism:

Pipes.unfoldr Streaming.next        :: Stream (Of a) m r   -> Producer a m r
Streaming.unfoldr Pipes.next        :: Producer a m r      -> Stream (Of a) m r

Interoperation with io-streams is thus:

Streaming.reread IOStreams.read     :: InputStream a       -> Stream (Of a) IO ()
IOStreams.unfoldM Streaming.uncons  :: Stream (Of a) IO () -> IO (InputStream a)

A simple exit to conduit would be, e.g.:

Conduit.unfoldM Streaming.uncons    :: Stream (Of a) m ()  -> Source m a

These conversions should never be more expensive than a single >-> or =$=.
