The "pipe" method of StreamingApi seems to be against common practices

[oosawy]

In common practices with streaming APIs, A.pipe(B) means "pipe the readable stream A to B." However, the Hono streaming helper API stream.pipe(A) means "pipe the readable stream A to the stream` and it goes against the practices. This confused me when I first saw it.

I suggest renaming pipe method to drain, as it reflects the actual behavior if keeping that API shape.

Anyway, since Hono can directly return readable streams from handlers, I don't fully get its use cases yet. Is it intended for manipulating and combining streams imperatively?

Edit:
I found some articles providing example code that uses the stream() helper to just respond with a readable stream, From what I understand so far, the stream() helper is used similarly to c.text() and c.json() API. If so, there may be a streamOf(readable) or stream(readable) API for the simple purpose just returning a readable stream.
