Expand description
This module implements a buffered/peekable reader.
The purpose of the buffered/peekable reader is to allow for backtracking parsers.
A reader implementing the standard library’s std::io::BufRead trait seems like a good fit, but
it does not allow for peeking a specific number of bytes, so it provides no way to request
more data from the underlying reader without consuming the existing data.
This API still tries to adhere to the std::io::BufRead’s trait philosophy.
The main type PeekReaderdoes not implement std::io::Read itself, as there is no added benefit
in doing so.
