/// Read some input, process it, and write it to the intended destination.

/// Many CLIs need to interact with streams, such as files on a file system and
/// [`std::io::Stdout`] as well as [`std::io::Stdin`].  The tasks are usually to
/// read from one or more input stream(s) and to write the processed data to
/// another stream.  Often, only the processing logic differs but the actual IO
/// steps to execute are always the same.  This leads to redundant boilerplate
/// code which is hard to maintain.
///
/// This trait shall provide a uniform and convenient interface for processing
/// logic such that the user can focus on the implementation of the way the read
/// data shall be processed.  The IO is handled by [`ReadFile`]s and
/// [`PatternWriter`]s such that one can rely on their semantics.

  ///   contents at the file's end.
  /// - `truncate` shall control whether to clear the file before writing to it.
  /// - the output file shall be created, in case that it should not already
  ///   exist.

  /// `show_error_messages` shall control whether to write error messages to
  /// [`std::io::Stderr`], if appropriate.

  /// Implementations should rely on the semantics of [`ReadFile`] and
