There is tokio-stream out there, but why is there no tokio-sink?

There are some Sink implementations in tokio-util, e.g. there's PollSender for the mspc channel. There isn't one for the broadcast channel.

In general, streams are used much more often than sinks, which is why they have a dedicated crate.
