amfora/rr

package rr, aka RestartReader

This package exists just to hold the RestartReader type. It wraps io.ReadCloser and implements it. It holds the data from every Read in a []byte buffer, and allows you to call .Restart(), causing subsequent Read calls to start from the beginning again.

See #140 for why this was needed.

Other projects are encouraged to copy this code if it's useful to them, and this package may move out of Amfora if I end up using it in multiple projects.
