Hi,

I have a case where I want to consume a Readable, by:

1. Read n bytes.
2. Process buffer using a function with an async callback.
3. When callback completes, goto 1.

I fail to see any simple solution to what I feel must be a somewhat common use 
case. The standard "on('readable', function() { this.read(); ... })" doesn't 
apply, as I have no way of deferring future 'readable' emits once I have 
returned from the handler.

Can it really be that the most sensible solution is to fall back to the old 
API, using pause() and resume()? or have I missed something?

Regards,
Gil
