Merge (interleave) a bunch of streams.
[](http://travis-ci.org/grncdr/merge-stream)
```javascript
var stream1 = new Stream();
var stream2 = new Stream();
var merged = mergeStream(stream1, stream2);
var stream3 = new Stream();
merged.add(stream3);
merged.isEmpty();
//=> false
```
This is adapted from [event-stream](https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream) separated into a new module, using Streams3.
`merged.add`
A method to dynamically add more sources to the stream.
`merged.isEmpty`
A method that tells you if the merged stream is empty.
When a stream is "empty" (aka. no sources were added), it could not be returned to a gulp task.
So, we could do something like this:
```js
stream = require('merge-stream')();
// Something like a loop to add some streams to the merge stream
// stream.add(streamA);
// stream.add(streamB);
return stream.isEmpty() ? null : stream;
```
