/// A trait for objects which are byte-oriented sources.
/// The `Read` trait allows for reading bytes from a source.
///
/// Readers are defined by one method, `read`. Each call to `read` will attempt
/// to pull bytes from this source into a provided buffer.
/// Implementors of the `Read` trait are sometimes called 'readers'.
///
/// Readers are intended to be composable with one another. Many objects
/// throughout the I/O and related libraries take and provide types which
/// implement the `Read` trait.
/// Readers are defined by one required method, `read()`. Each call to `read`
/// will attempt to pull bytes from this source into a provided buffer. A
/// number of other methods are implemented in terms of `read()`, giving
/// implementors a number of ways to read bytes while only needing to implement
/// a single method.
