streaming implementation #25

Hello,

Have you considered a streaming implementation of he.

Reading the code, it seems like there are a lot of expression types to check and the streamer would probably need to be code generated out of a description of all the entities.

From your experience on he, do you think that is feasible / that would make sense ?

Thanks

Just throwing more thoughts in the air hoping they might mesh with something:

Could generate code with escodegen or Wisp if necessary.
API could be to return a stream.Transform when called with an options-object.

Node's Stream API is currently marked "Unstable" though. Maybe this should be a different module? (Name would be obvious: "streaming he" → "she")
