  @param    {Number}  n        - Number of items to take from the source stream.
  @returns  {Stream.Transform} - Transform stream.
  
  @example
  
  // take the first 3 items from a stream
  inStream // => ['b', 'a', 'n', 'a', 'n', 'a']
  .pipe(nodeStream.take(3))
  .pipe(process.stdout)
  // => ['b', 'a', 'n']
