    // You can do this

    // or this
    stream
        .pipeThrough(decompressorTransform)

    // Web streams need a consumer to read the data unlike node-streams where
    // you get data from a data-event. Web streams it's also all promisifed.
    var reader = readableStream.getReader()
    var chunks = []

    var pump() =>
        reader.read().then( ({ value, done }) => {
            if (done)
                return chunks

            chunks.push(value) // Uint8array
