+
+* `streams` {Stream[]}
+* Returns: {stream.Duplex}
+
+Combines two or more streams into a `Duplex` stream that writes to the
+first stream and reads from the last. Each provided stream is piped into
+the next, using `stream.pipeline`. If any of the streams error then all
+are destroyed, including the outer `Duplex` stream.
+
+Because `stream.compose` returns a new stream that in turn can (and
+should) be piped into other streams, it enables composition. In contrast,
+when passing streams to `stream.pipeline`, typically the first stream is
+a readable stream and the last a writable stream, forming a closed
+circuit.
