#' Streaming
#'
#' Open a streaming connection with Twitter and stores tweets for as long as you
#' wish.
#'
#' The connection can be left open as long as you wish, the data is appended to
#' the file provided. Be aware that the stream might have incomplete records
#' (you won't be able to read directly from the json file).
#' One tweet might belong to multiple rules.
#'
#' @param file Path to a file where the raw streaming should be stored.
#' @inheritParams TWIT_paginate_max_id
#' @param timeout time, in seconds, of the recording stream.
#' @param expansions Expansions you want to use see [tweet_expansions()].
#' Use NULL to get all expansions, use NA to not use any field, or a vector
#' with the fields you want.
#' @param fields Fields you want to retrieve see [Fields]. Use NULL to get all
#' allowed fields, use NA to not use any field, pass a list with the fields you want.
#' @param append Append streaming to the file? Default does but it is
#' recommended to have a new file for each call.
#' @param query If `NULL` returns the current rules, else depending:
#' - In stream_add_rule it should be a list of value and tag.
#' - In stream_rm_rule it should be a vector of ids of rules to be removed
#' @param dry Check if the addition or removal of the rule works.
#' @param ... Other parameters passed to the body of the request.
#'
#' @return The records in the streaming.
