Question: why does stream/zip need an intermediaries stream layer?

[dm3]

I was wondering, why does the implementation of manifold.stream/zip create an intermediary stream for each input stream instead of "zipping" the input streams directly?

[ztellman]

Because if loop/recur and connect based consumers are both given the same
stream, the loop/recur consumer may miss messages. Consider the case where
there are no intermediate streams, and we both map and zip over a
particular stream.

Makes sense, thanks!
