Is that a real question? Let me repeat, I know the arguments. But consider
it from a socket standpoint. The empty string is converted to a Buffer.
That buffer has zero length and no bytes in it. It's reasonable for the
underlying system to determine that there is nothing to do. The question
I'm bringing up, and just bringing up mind you because I have no stomach to
argue about it, is whether this reasonable assumption belongs at the level
of the streams api.

And again, I've done no research whatsoever into this. What I'm talking
about may not even be the problem here. Just talking out loud while I avoid
doing actual work. Please carry on.
