	/**
	 * The Stream constructor, accepts an array of values or a generator function
	 * as an optional argument. This is typically the entry point to the Highland
	 * APIs, providing a convenient way of chaining calls together.
	 *
	 * **Arrays -** Streams created from Arrays will emit each value of the Array
	 * and then emit a [nil](#nil) value to signal the end of the Stream.
	 *
	 * **Generators -** These are functions which provide values for the Stream.
	 * They are lazy and can be infinite, they can also be asynchronous (for
	 * example, making a HTTP request). You emit values on the Stream by calling
	 * `push(err, val)`, much like a standard Node.js callback. You call `next()`
	 * to signal you've finished processing the current data. If the Stream is
	 * still being consumed the generator function will then be called again.
	 *
	 * You can also redirect a generator Stream by passing a new source Stream
	 * to read from to next. For example: `next(other_stream)` - then any subsequent
	 * calls will be made to the new source.
	 *
	 * **Node Readable Stream -** Pass in a Node Readable Stream object to wrap
	 * it with the Highland API. Reading from the resulting Highland Stream will
	 * begin piping the data from the Node Stream to the Highland Stream.
	 *
	 * **EventEmitter / jQuery Elements -** Pass in both an event name and an
	 * event emitter as the two arguments to the constructor and the first
	 * argument emitted to the event handler will be written to the new Stream.
	 *
	 * **Promise -** Accepts an ES6 / jQuery style promise and returns a
	 * Highland Stream which will emit a single value (or an error).
