One option might be something like 
https://github.com/rbuckton/prex/blob/master/docs/scheduling.md#class-asyncqueue.
 It allows you to put items on the queue as soon as they are available.

Subject: Re: Stream + async await

Interesting!!!

Excuse my ignorance, but with this construct, how would you trivially invoke a 
"publish" ahead of any given "consumption"?

As far as I can see,

```
for await (const item of requestItems){

}
```
on its own is purely a "front-pressure" construct. That is, each request is 
made upon the completion and satisfactory consumption of the last one.

Can you suggest a way to trivially invoke some "back pressure" using this 
construct? By this I mean - invoke extra requests before they come to be 
consumed (like you can do with reactive streaming libraries). An example use 
would be if you wanted to do some "eager loading" of data while the user is 
likely to be viewing but not currently interacting with existing content, for 
example.

You seem very familiar with this construct, so I wouldn't be surprised if 
you've already thought about this! (If you're too busy I'm sure there are 
others here familiar with it too!)

It'd be great to have async stream constructs such as: 
http://reactivex.io/rxjs/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Freactivex.io%2Frxjs%2F&data=04%7C01%7Cron.buckton%40microsoft.com%7C90d8f33f560d48305ad808d4d6703ae6%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C636369224897437474%7CUnknown%7CVW5rbm93bnx7IlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiT3RoZXIifQ%3D%3D%7C-1&sdata=WlsRBdhN2hkFpFcQ6zJK846k31TYWog91myIwiw02ow%3D&reserved=0>
 , supported natively, such that they can be used directly with the async / 
await keywords for async stream programming in a linear fashion (analogous to 
what can already be done with linearly awaiting Promises, but for async streams 
instead).
