//! A `BufferedReader` is a super-powered `Read`er.
//!
//! Like the [`BufRead`] trait, the `BufferedReader` trait has an
//! internal buffer that is directly exposed to the user.  This design
//! enables two performance optimizations.  First, the use of an
//! internal buffer amortizes system calls.  Second, exposing the
//! internal buffer allows the user to work with data in place, which
//! avoids another copy.
//!
//! The [`BufRead`] trait, however, has a significant limitation for
//! parsers: the user of a [`BufRead`] object can't control the amount
//! of buffering.  This is essential for being able to conveniently
//! work with data in place, and being able to lookahead without
//! consuming data.  The result is that either the sizing has to be
//! handled by the instantiator of the [`BufRead`] object---assuming
//! the [`BufRead`] object provides such a mechanism---which is a
//! layering violation, or the parser has to fallback to buffering if
//! the internal buffer is too small, which eliminates most of the
//! advantages of the [`BufRead`] abstraction.  The `BufferedReader`
//! trait addresses this shortcoming by allowing the user to control
//! the size of the internal buffer.
//!
//! The `BufferedReader` trait also has some functionality,
//! specifically, a generic interface to work with a stack of
//! `BufferedReader` objects, that simplifies using multiple parsers
//! simultaneously.  This is helpful when one parser deals with
//! framing (e.g., something like [HTTP's chunk transfer encoding]),
//! and another decodes the actual objects.  It is also useful when
//! objects are nested.
//!
//! # Details
//!
//! Because the [`BufRead`] trait doesn't provide a mechanism for the
//! user to size the interal buffer, a parser can't generally be sure
//! that the internal buffer will be large enough to allow it to work
//! with all data in place.
//!
//! Using the standard [`BufRead`] implementation, [`BufReader`], the
//! instantiator can set the size of the internal buffer at creation
//! time.  Unfortunately, this mechanism is ugly, and not always
//! adequate.  First, the parser is typically not the instantiator.
//! Thus, the instantiator needs to know about the implementation
//! details of all of the parsers, which turns an implementation
//! detail into a cross-cutting concern.  Second, when working with
//! dynamically sized data, the maximum amount of the data that needs
//! to be worked with in place may not be known apriori, or the
//! maximum amount may be significantly larger than the typical
//! amount.  This leads to poorly sized buffers.
//!
//! Alternatively, the code that uses, but does not instantiate a
//! [`BufRead`] object, can be changed to stream the data, or to
//! fallback to reading the data into a local buffer if the internal
//! buffer is too small.  Both of these approaches increase code
//! complexity, and the latter approach is contrary to the
//! [`BufRead`]'s goal of reducing unnecessary copying.
//!
//! The `BufferedReader` trait solves this problem by allowing the
//! user to dynamically (i.e., at read time, not open time) ensure
//! that the internal buffer has a certain amount of data.
//!
//! The ability to control the size of the internal buffer is also
//! essential to straightforward support for speculative lookahead.
//! The reason that speculative lookahead with a [`BufRead`] object is
//! difficult is that speculative lookahead is /speculative/, i.e., if
//! the parser backtracks, the data that was read must not be
//! consumed.  Using a [`BufRead`] object, this is not possible if the
//! amount of lookahead is larger than the internal buffer.  That is,
//! if the amount of lookahead data is larger than the [`BufRead`]'s
//! internal buffer, the parser first has to `BufRead::consume`() some
//! data to be able to examine more data.  But, if the parser then
//! decides to backtrack, it has no way to return the unused data to
//! the [`BufRead`] object.  This forces the parser to manage a buffer
//! of read, but unconsumed data, which significantly complicates the
//! code.
//!
//! The `BufferedReader` trait also simplifies working with a stack of
//! `BufferedReader`s in two ways.  First, the `BufferedReader` trait
//! provides *generic* methods to access the underlying
//! `BufferedReader`.  Thus, even when dealing with a trait object, it
//! is still possible to recover the underlying `BufferedReader`.
//! Second, the `BufferedReader` provides a mechanism to associate
//! generic state with each `BufferedReader` via a cookie.  Although
//! it is possible to realize this functionality using a custom trait
//! that extends the `BufferedReader` trait and wraps existing
//! `BufferedReader` implementations, this approach eliminates a lot
//! of error-prone, boilerplate code.
//!
//! # Examples
//!
//! The following examples show not only how to use a
//! `BufferedReader`, but also better illustrate the aforementioned
//! limitations of a [`BufRead`]er.
//!
//! Consider a file consisting of a sequence of objects, which are
//! laid out as follows.  Each object has a two byte header that
//! indicates the object's size in bytes.  The object immediately
//! follows the header.  Thus, if we had two objects: "foobar" and
//! "xyzzy", in that order, the file would look like this:
//!
//! ```text
//! 0 6 f o o b a r 0 5 x y z z y
//! ```
//!
//! Here's how we might parse this type of file using a
//! `BufferedReader`:
//!
//! ```
//! use buffered_reader::*;
//! use buffered_reader::BufferedReaderFile;
//!
//! fn parse_object(content: &[u8]) {
//!     // Parse the object.
//!     # let _ = content;
//! }
//!
//! # f(); fn f() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> {
//! # const FILENAME : &str = "/dev/null";
//! let mut br = BufferedReaderFile::open(FILENAME)?;
//!
//! // While we haven't reached EOF (i.e., we can read at
//! // least one byte).
//! while br.data(1)?.len() > 0 {
//!     // Get the object's length.
//!     let len = br.read_be_u16()? as usize;
//!     // Get the object's content.
//!     let content = br.data_consume_hard(len)?;
//!
//!     // Parse the actual object using a real parser.  Recall:
//!     // `data_hard`() may return more than the requested amount (but
//!     // it will never return less).
//!     parse_object(&content[..len]);
//! }
//! # Ok(()) }
//! ```
//!
//! Note that `content` is actually a pointer to the
//! `BufferedReader`'s internal buffer.  Thus, getting some data
//! doesn't require copying the data into a local buffer, which is
//! often discarded immediately after the data is parsed.
//!
//! Further, `data`() (and the other related functions) are guaranteed
//! to return at least the requested amount of data.  There are two
//! exceptions: if an error occurs, or the end of the file is reached.
//! Thus, only the cases that actually need to be handled by the user
//! are actually exposed; there is no need to call something like
//! `read`() in a loop to ensure the whole object is available.
//!
//! Because reading is separate from consuming data, it is possible to
//! get a chunk of data, inspect it, and then consume only what is
//! needed.  As mentioned above, this is only possible with a
//! [`BufRead`] object if the internal buffer happens to be large
//! enough.  Using a `BufferedReader`, this is always possible,
//! assuming the data fits in memory.
//!
//! In our example, we actually have two parsers: one that deals with
//! the framing, and one for the actual objects.  The above code
//! buffers the objects in their entirety, and then passes a slice
//! containing the object to the object parser.  If the object parser
//! also worked with a `BufferedReader` object, then less buffering
//! will usually be needed, and the two parsers could run
//! simultaneously.  This is particularly useful when the framing is
//! more complicated like [HTTP's chunk transfer encoding].  Then,
//! when the object parser reads data, the frame parser is invoked
//! lazily.  This is done by implementing the `BufferedReader` trait
//! for the framing parser, and stacking the `BufferedReader`s.
//!
//! For our next example, we rewrite the previous code asssuming that
//! the object parser reads from a `BufferedReader` object.  Since the
//! framing parser is really just a limit on the object's size, we
//! don't need to implement a special `BufferedReader`, but can use a
//! `BufferedReaderLimitor` to impose an upper limit on the amount
//! that it can read.  After the object parser has finished, we drain
//! the object reader.  This pattern is particularly helpful when
//! individual objects that contain errors should be skipped.
//!
//! ```
//! use buffered_reader::*;
//! use buffered_reader::BufferedReaderFile;
//!
//! fn parse_object<R: BufferedReader<()>>(br: &mut R) {
//!     // Parse the object.
//!     # let _ = br;
//! }
//!
//! # f(); fn f() -> Result<(), std::io::Error> {
//! # const FILENAME : &str = "/dev/null";
//! let mut br : Box<BufferedReader<()>>
//!     = Box::new(BufferedReaderFile::open(FILENAME)?);
//!
//! // While we haven't reached EOF (i.e., we can read at
//! // least one byte).
//! while br.data(1)?.len() > 0 {
//!     // Get the object's length.
//!     let len = br.read_be_u16()? as u64;
//!
//!     // Set up a limit.
//!     br = Box::new(BufferedReaderLimitor::new(br, len));
//!
//!     // Parse the actual object using a real parser.
//!     parse_object(&mut br);
//!
//!     // If the parser didn't consume the whole object, e.g., due to
//!     // a parse error, drop the rest.
//!     br.drop_eof();
//!
//!     // Recover the framing parser's `BufferedReader`.
//!     br = br.into_inner().unwrap();
//! }
//! # Ok(()) }
//! ```
//!
//! Of particular note is the generic functionality for dealing with
//! stacked `BufferedReader`s: the `into_inner`() method is not bound
//! to the implementation, which is often not be available due to type
//! erasure, but is provided by the trait.
//!
//! In addition to utility `BufferedReader`s like the
//! `BufferedReaderLimitor`, this crate also includes a few
//! general-purpose parsers, like the `BufferedReaderZip`
//! decompressor.
