 A sequence of items is something we’ve seen before, when we looked at the

-and the async channel receiver. The first difference is the element of time:
-iterators are synchronous, while the channel receiver is asynchronous. The
-second difference is the API. When working directly with an `Iterator`, we call

 That similarity isn’t a coincidence. A stream is similar to an asynchronous
 form of iteration. Whereas the `trpl::Receiver` specifically waits to receive
