 *
 * The stream interface allows us to simply "plug-in" to other Node streams such as http responses and write streams so everything "just works" out of the box.

 * @event `error`: emits when an error occurs during streaming. This will emit _before_ the `close` event.
 * @event `close`: emits when the stream reaches the end of the cursor or an error occurs, or the stream is manually `destroy`ed. After this event, no more events are emitted.

/**
 * Pipes this query stream into another stream. This method is inherited from NodeJS Streams.
 *
 * ####Example:
 *
 *     query.stream().pipe(writeStream [, options])
 *
 * This could be particularily useful if you are, for example, setting up an API for a service and want to stream out the docs based on some criteria. We could first pipe the QueryStream into a sort of filter that formats the stream as an array before passing on the document to an http response.
 *
 *     var format = new ArrayFormatter;
 *     Events.find().stream().pipe(format).pipe(res);
 *
 * As long as ArrayFormat implements the WriteStream API we can stream large formatted result sets out to the client. See this [gist](https://gist.github.com/1403797) for a hacked example.
