[PEPr] Comment on Streams::Stream_Iterate

Philippe Jausions (http://pear.php.net/user/jausions) has commented on the proposal for Streams::Stream_Iterate. Comment: I used the stream wrapper with MDB2 and HTTP_Download to have less memory footprint during the download of big data, i.e. you don't need to put all the data in memory, format it then output it. The download starts sooner too. You could possibly also use it with copy() (PHP 5.3.0+), or fpassthru() and all the stream-based functions (stream filters for instance.) copy('foreach://value@data?callback=toString', '/path/to/file', $context); Bottom line, it allows you to view the transversable data as a stream.
