Node streams - a fractal of weird design

and a potential refactor that could fix that

This is a list of issues and confusions I've encountered with node streams, and things I wish were designed and implemented differently. If promise-streams is ever going to change to a design that doesn't build on top of node streams, this would be a list of mistakes to avoid

enc parameter - Why is encoding always passed together with the data? It should be a separate concern. It doesn't even make sense in objectMode
eventemitter base - There is no reason to use an uncomposable grab-bag of stringy events as a base
relying on nextTick etc for execution order - This is very unreliable and causes all sorts of unpredictable rules for implementers which are not documented anywhere.
