//! What:
//!  Read one `git cat-file --batch` reply from a byte stream,
//!  with no process involved.
//! Why:
//!  Object bytes are untrusted input that may contain anything,
//!  including text that
//!      looks like a reply header.
//!  The reply is therefore framed only by the header's
//!      declared size,
//!  never by searching content,
//!  and every malformed shape is a
//!      typed failure instead of a guess.
//!
//! Git 2.56.0 (`Documentation/git-cat-file.adoc`,
//!  "BATCH OUTPUT") prints,
//!  per request line:
//! `<oid> SP <type> SP <size> LF <contents> LF`,
//!  or `<request> SP missing LF`.
//!
//! In TS you'd write (pseudocode):
//! ```ts
//! // const header = await readLine(stream); const body = await readExactly(stream, size);
//! ```

///  `BufRead` is the trait (interface) of buffered byte sources:
///  it adds
///       `.read_until(..)`.
///  `Read` adds `.take(..)`,
///  `.read_to_end(..)` and `.read_exact(..)`.
/// Why:

/// Why:
///   A real header is at most 64 name digits,

///       (under 100 bytes).
