Previously a WriteStream created with fs.createWriteStream converted non-Buffers to buffers by concating an empty string with the data which gave us an opportunity to run formatting logic on the data by setting a custom toString method. This no longer works because fs.WriteStream._write rejects any non-Buffer, even in objectMode.
Seems like a bug but I'm just starting to familiarize myself with the new streams and maybe I'm "doing it wrong". Thanks for the assistance.
