If an internal buffer was suitable to their application, they 
shouldn't have been using write() in the first place; it would 
suffice to "return [buffer]".

Unfortunately, many people seem to think that yield and write() are 
for returning pieces of a normal web page, rather than for doing 
server push and streaming files that are too big to go all-at-once.
