/// A `BufRead` is a type of reader which has some form of internal buffering to
/// allow certain kinds of reading operations to be more optimized than others.
/// A `BufRead` is a type of `Read`er which has an internal buffer, allowing it
/// to perform extra ways of reading.
///
/// This type extends the `Read` trait with a few methods that are not
/// possible to reasonably implement with purely a read interface.
/// For example, reading line-by-line requires using a buffer, so if you want
/// to read by line, you'll need `BufRead`, which includes a
/// [`read_line()`][readline] method as well as a [`lines()`][lines] iterator.
///
/// [readline]: #method.read_line
/// [lines]: #method.lines
///
/// # Examples
///
/// A locked standard input implements `BufRead`:
///
/// ```
/// use std::io;
/// use std::io::BufRead;
///
/// let stdin = io::stdin();
/// for line in stdin.lock().lines() {
/// println!("{}", line.unwrap());
/// }
/// ```
///
/// If you have something that implements `Read`, you can use the [`BufReader`
/// type][bufreader] to turn it into a `BufRead`.
///
/// For example, [`File`][file] implements `Read`, but not `BufRead`.
/// `BufReader` to the rescue!
///
