readArray stream must be used on the same `tick`

[treet]

es.readArray([1,2,3]).on('data', function (n) { console.log(n); });

works as expected while

var stream = es.readArray([1,2,3]);
process.nextTick(function () {
   stream.on('data', function (n) { console.log(n); });
});

does not work (nothing is printed)

This happens since the contents of the array is emitted to the stream on first stream.resume in a while loop (https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream/blob/master/index.js#L108), which means delaying the use of the stream a tick makes it unusable.

Is this intended behaviour?

yes - most stream1 stream work like this.
however, if you use streams2 this will work.

Thanks! I didn't notice that event-stream creates 0.8 streams and not 0.10 streams. Creating the stream like this makes everything work as expected:

var s = new stream.Readable({ objectMode: true }).wrap(es.readArray([1,2,3]));

This should be in the README! Lost 30 minutes till I found this closed issue. Thank you for the info though it helped a lot!
