+// DOCS: This stream is guaranteed to return `null` on the first (usually manual) read call, and will pre-read 1 item from upstream for every subsequent call. It's primarily meant to be used for complex stream internals where a stream will only be first used (much) later than its creation, but it's desired to do the work as soon as possible. If you're just trying to make your pipeline faster, you probably want `parallelize` instead - this module will not do what you want.
