Description

Dart has await for to iterate over streams, we don’t have anything like this.
.forEach is less powerful (you can await inside an await for and it will pause/resume the subscription.
dostream would be like doseq but for streams (potentially mixed with some seqables) and await-for would be like but but would evaluate to a stream.
Both are poor names:

  • dostream would implicitely await the whole iteration to be over
  • await-for would not await as it would return a stream...
    So await-doseq and stream-for instead?

Research direction

Start by reading the existing doseq and but implementations, then compare their behavior with Dart's await for and streams. Clarify whether await-doseq and stream-for are the desired names and semantics; the issue is complete only after that design is settled and the corresponding stream iteration behavior is implemented.
