How I want to write Node: Stream all the things

If you look at the full docs, there is a lot of overlap, highland provides a lot of of the functions from underscore.js, and since from what I can tell its trying to unify the "javascript utility belt", I can only imagine more will be added.

"highland provides a lot of of the functions from underscore.js"

"A lot of the functions" (versus "all of the functions") sounds like a one-way ticket to readability hell, since it means that an inattentive reader may assume the functions ARE from Underscore.

To me the benefit of a convenient shorthand outweighs this, someone would figure it out really quick, seems like a non-issue. A few different libs use $ and the world doesn't end.
