+/// The `BufReader` struct adds buffering to any reader.
+///
+/// It can be excessively inefficient to work directly with a [`AsyncRead`]
+/// instance. A `BufReader` performs large, infrequent reads on the underlying
+/// [`AsyncRead`] and maintains an in-memory buffer of the results.
+///
+/// `BufReader` can improve the speed of programs that make *small* and
+/// *repeated* read calls to the same file or network socket. It does not
+/// help when reading very large amounts at once, or reading just one or a few
+/// times. It also provides no advantage when reading from a source that is
+/// already in memory, like a `Vec<u8>`.
+///
+/// When the `BufReader` is dropped, the contents of its buffer will be
+/// discarded. Creating multiple instances of a `BufReader` on the same
+/// stream can cause data loss.
