Stream 'user' ignores 'with' #457

Using const stream = T.stream('user', { with: 'myhandle' }) still brings me all the stream of people I follow instead of the user (myself, in that case).

User stream are being deprecated by twitter they will be removed from their API soon : https://twittercommunity.com/t/details-and-what-to-expect-from-the-api-deprecations-this-week-on-august-16-2018/110746

They are replaced by the Account Activity API, you should switch to it quickly.

So, will this endpoint continue to be supported by Twitter and twit?

T.stream('statuses/filter', {'track': [], 'follow': []})

If so, occasionally an error occurs that's not being handled by twit. I believe I'm handling all of the events twit provides, but this error slips through occasionally and crashes my app:
