 - Destroy a stream.
 - 
 - This module is meant to ensure a stream gets destroyed, handling different APIs
 - and Node.js bugs.
 - 
 - ## API
 - 
 - ```js
 - var destroy = require('destroy')
 - ```
 - 
 - ### destroy(stream [, suppress])
 - 
 - Destroy the given stream, and optionally suppress any future `error` events.
 - 
 - In most cases, this is identical to a simple `stream.destroy()` call. The rules
 - are as follows for a given stream:
 - 
 -   1. If the `stream` is an instance of `ReadStream`, then call `stream.destroy()`
 -      and add a listener to the `open` event to call `stream.close()` if it is
 -      fired. This is for a Node.js bug that will leak a file descriptor if
 -      `.destroy()` is called before `open`.
 -   2. If the `stream` is an instance of a zlib stream, then call `stream.destroy()`
 -      and close the underlying zlib handle if open, otherwise call `stream.close()`.
 -      This is for consistency across Node.js versions and a Node.js bug that will
 -      leak a native zlib handle.
 -   3. If the `stream` is not an instance of `Stream`, then nothing happens.
 -   4. If the `stream` has a `.destroy()` method, then call it.
 - 
 - The function returns the `stream` passed in as the argument.
 - 
 - ## Example
 - 
 - ```js
 - var destroy = require('destroy')
 - 
 - var fs = require('fs')
 - var stream = fs.createReadStream('package.json')
 - 
 - // ... and later
 - destroy(stream)
 - ```
