Review Comment:
Thanks @alamb , I agree this is worth exploring. I’m hesitant to change this
PR to make `StreamEncoder` generic over a sink because that would be a larger
API design change and makes the sans-IO boundary less obvious. I’ll keep the
current `encode -> Vec<Buffer>` API in this PR and open a follow-up issue to
track a possible sink-based / `encode_to` API. I open an issue #10445 to track
it.
