Editing Module:Buffer/doc (section)

====Buffer:stream====
{{luaself|:stream|args=...}}

Switches a Buffer to [[#Stream-Buffer|stream mode]]. While streaming, the __call metamethod will append values to the end of the Buffer instead of the [[#Buffer object|usual op]].

Aside from that, there is only one other function: {{luaself|pre=Stream{{ndash}}|:each}}. Any args passed to Buffer:stream are forwarded to that function for a reason that should be evident when you finish reading this very short section.

No special action is needed to exit this mode. The normal call to string op is restored upon the use of any regular Buffer function or any operation which coerces the Buffer into a string (e.g. the <code>..</code> operator).
