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.

Cheers,
Nick.
