Provides I/O-related utilities complimenting the Rust Standard Library
`std::io`, `std::fs`, etc.

* The _fs_ module includes a `PosRead` trait, offering a uniform pread
  for positioned file reads; and a `ReadSlice` supporting multiple
  independent reader instances limited to a fixed start..end range.

* The _io_ module includes a `GatheringReader`, which presents a
  continuous Read interface over N non-contiguous byte buffers.

* The _mem_ module includes a `MemHandle` supporting prioritized
  concurrent memory access advice (e.g. madvise (2) on unix).

## Minimum supported rust version

MSRV := 1.39.0

The crate will fail fast on any lower rustc (via a build.rs version
check) and is also CI tested on this version.
