Request from Aymeric to make it able to transfer signals that can be distinguished from ordinary byte stream. For example, we can have TextDecoder understand such a signal. When TextDecoder sees a signal, it flushes decodable bytes preceding the signal in its buffer as a DOMString while keeping non-decodable bytes in the buffer. His use case is making hash calculator to emit partial hash when received such a signal.
