/// 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.
