Description

I recently hit a bug that was kinda hard to debug where I was accidentally passing a stream constructor rather than a stream to multi-read-stream. The error came from fairly deep inside pump.

Would you be open to a PR implementing simple validation of the input arguments using is-stream, and throwing a helpful error if any of the args isn't a stream?

Research direction

Start by reading the input-argument handling and the path into pump in multi-read-stream; the issue provides no file or test names. Verify the behavior with stream instances and invalid arguments such as a stream constructor, then ensure invalid inputs produce a helpful error rather than failing deep inside pump.
