16/// Object-safe capability trait for values that can be read and repositioned.
17///
18/// `ReadSeek` exists to give the common [`Read`] + [`Seek`] combination a
19/// stable, named trait that can be used behind `dyn`. It is useful for APIs
20/// that need to accept heterogeneous random-access inputs, such as files,
21/// cursors, archive members, or custom readers, while still calling both
22/// reading and seeking methods through the same trait object.
23///
24/// The trait adds no methods of its own. All operations come from the
25/// standard-library supertraits, and every type implementing both [`Read`] and
26/// [`Seek`] automatically implements `ReadSeek`.
27///
28/// # Examples
29///
30/// ```rust
31/// use qubit_io::std_io::ReadSeek;
32/// use std::io::SeekFrom;
33///
34/// fn read_from_start(input: &mut dyn ReadSeek) -> std::io::Result<Vec<u8>> {
35///     input.seek(SeekFrom::Start(0))?;
36///
37///     let mut bytes = Vec::new();
38///     input.read_to_end(&mut bytes)?;
39///     Ok(bytes)
40/// }
41///
42/// let mut cursor = std::io::Cursor::new(b"abc".to_vec());
43/// assert_eq!(read_from_start(&mut cursor)?, b"abc");
44/// # Ok::<(), std::io::Error>(())
45/// ```
