	Not really. You might say it's more general than arrows, because the 
streaming components are not restricted to a single input and single 
output type. On the other hand, they are all specific to stream 
processing, much like Fudgets and Yampa which are arrow-based.

	I suppose the Transducer data type [1] could be made an Arrow instance, 
which would let me rename the 'connect' combinator [2] to (>>>). I'll 
have a look at Yampa to see if I can harvest more combinator names, 
thank you!
