+A toolbox to ease the use of generator
+
+### Timeout
+
+wrap a source async generator to have it throw an error when timeout is reached
+timeout is a positive number in milliseconds
+
+```js
+import { Timeout } from '@vates/generator-toolbox'
+
+const wrappedGenerator = new Timeout(sourceGenerator, timeout)
+```
+
+### Throttle
+
+wrap a source async generator to have it respect a max speed ( in bytes per seconds).
+speed is either a strictly positive number or a function returning a strictly positive number. A speed change will be used for the next emitted packet.
+
+The source generator must yield object with a length property.
+
+Optimized for small yields regarding to the speed, since it won't split incoming packet.
+
+If the generator reached the max speed it will be paused, limiting memory consumption.
+
+```js
+import { Throttle } from '@vates/generator-toolbox'
+
+const wrappedGenerator = new Throttle(sourceGenerator, speed)
+```
+
+### Synchronized
+
+Fork a generator. The rules ares:
+
+- if the source returns, all the forks returns
+- if the forks errors, all the forks errors with the same error
+- if a the fork return , it is stopped, but the generator continue with the other
+- if a the fork error , it is stopped, but the generator continue with the other
+- if all the fork return , the source is stopped
+- if all the fork error , the source is errored with the last error
+- the source start producing a packet when the fastest forked ask for it
+- the source forks get the packet only when all the forks asked for it, no buffer stores in memory
+
+```ts
+import { Synchronized } from '@vates/generator-toolbox'
+
+async function consume(generator: AsyncGenerator) {
+  for await (const val of generator) {
+    console.log({ val })
+  }
+}
+const forker = new Synchronized(generator)
+const first = forker.fork('first')
+const second = forker.fork('second')
+await Promise.all([consume(first), consume(second)])
+```
+
+Note: you can stop early a generator by calling `generator.return()`, and you can stop in in error by calling `generator.throw(error)`
