> {{KStream.transform}} gives you access to state stores while allowing you to return zero or one transformed {{KeyValue}}.  Alas, it is unclear what method you should use if you want to access state stores and return zero or multiple {{KeyValue}}.  Presumably you can use {{transform}}, always return {{null}}, and use {{ProcessorContext.forward}} to emit {{KeyValues}}.
> It may be good to introduce a {{transform}}-like {{flatMap}} equivalent, or allow store access from other {{KStream}} methods, such as {{flatMap}} itself.
