-These describe endpoints that return a stream of values rather than just a single value. They not only take a single content type as a parameter, but also a framing strategy -- this specifies how the individual results are delineated from one another in the stream. The two standard strategies given with Servant are `NewlineFraming` and `NetstringFraming`, but others can be written to match other protocols.
