Description
If undefined is passed to pipe, it sends "TypeError: Cannot call method 'on' of undefined". It would be better with a friendlier error message.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the Stream.pipe implementation and reproduce the behavior when undefined is passed. Check how the current TypeError is produced, then verify that the resulting error is clearer while preserving normal pipe behavior.
