readable-stream 3.x is a copy of Node 10's streams. Like 2.x and 4.x it
now compiles as node:stream: readable.js as stream.Readable carrying the
stream classes, Stream, finished and pipeline, and lib/_stream_*.js as the
matching builtin classes. Unlike them, this is not the package's own
READABLE_STREAM=disable mode, which throws on Node 24 (it Object.assigns
every stream export onto stream.Readable, which inherits the getter-only
`promises` accessor). The limitations and dependencies pages and the
compatibility notes say so.
The corpus program readable-stream-3 runs the vendored 3.6.2 under Node and
keeps to behavior its streams share with the builtin.
