If you view them as comparable to subprocess pipes, then it can be surprising that they're not iterable when using a line-oriented protocol. If you instead view them as comparable to socket connections, then the lack of iteration support seems equally reasonable. Hence my suggestion of providing a docs recipe showing an example of wrapping a connection in a generator in order to define a suitable way of getting from a raw bytestream to iterable chunks.
