§subio
Implementing IO traits on regions of IO-compatible types.
§Use case
It is often convenient to read, write, and seek within a portion of a file as if it were itself a standalone file. For example, a tar or zip archive, which are a number of file entries concatenated together with some metadata.
subio does the (trivial) bookkeeping to allow that to happen, for standard traits std::io::Read, std::io::Write, std::io::Seek etc..
§Extension
The provided types could be extended to support other IO traits like those provided by various async runtimes and io_uring.
