Main idea was taken from Iteratees invented by Oleg Kiselev (there are
two packages on hackage implementing this ideas: data-iteraties and
enumerator packages)
The difference is, that I wished haskell-2010 compilant package for
left-foldable streams, including support for easy builing, transcoding,
merging and folding of streams relying on do-notation (see
Data.Iteration.Unicode.* for examples of transcoding streams: it is
quite clean and easily understandable) and ability to specify easily
monadic actions in stream processors.

Errgh. That may be true, but I did not consider non-monadic context at
all, so I enforced this constrain mindlessly
