will do fine.
Speaking of xml2 I clearly like to see an attempt of buffered lookahead
reading for a stream/stdio overhaul.
Writing range adapters with even only fixed lookahead on top of the
current stream API is painful.
This is exactly the reason for the overhaul. I'm working on it, and I
think my next version will be much more backwards compatible.
See in the proposed documentation readUntil, and look at the byChunk
implementation to see how it's used.
The intention was to use the buffer as an expandable scratch space to do
things like parsing xml files without copying.
