forAuthorCode can be a bit per reader

[jorendorff]

Eight different algorithms take a forAuthorCode argument, and it is passed to a lot of places. But if I understand the spec correctly, forAuthorCode is meant to be true iff the stream's current [[reader]] is visible to author code.

So it seems possible to give each reader a [[forAuthorCode]] field instead, and set it to false in AcquireReadableStreamDefaultReader.

This seems more direct, and might even be a nice simplification; if you agree, I'd like to contribute a patch.

This is a brilliant insight, thank you. If you're willing to create a patch, that would be great. You may need to sign the whatwg CLA (https://participate.whatwg.org/agreement) if you have not done so already.

In this case @jorendorff would just join https://github.com/mozilla-standards; I think @annevk or @dbaron can add you.

[annevk]

Done.

Thanks for taking a look! I'll put together a patch next week. (This is Thanksgiving week in the US, so I doubt I'll find time for it.)

I'd note that, as described, @jorendorff needs to make his membership in the organization public.
