Checks if the given argument is a stream.
- Check if the value is different from `null`.
- Use `typeof` to check if the value is of type `object` and the `pipe` property is of type `function`.
```js
const isStream = val =>
val !== null && typeof val === 'object' && typeof val.pipe === 'function';
```
```js
const fs = require('fs');
isStream(fs.createReadStream('test.txt')); // true
```
