// Package asyncbuffer provides an asynchronous buffer that reads data from an
// io.Reader in the background.
//
// When created, AsyncBuffer starts reading from the upstream reader in the
// background. If a read error occurs, it is stored and can be checked with
// AsyncBuffer.Error().
//
// When reading through AsyncBuffer.Reader().Read(), the error is only returned
// once the reader reaches the point where the error occurred. In other words,
// errors are delayed until encountered by the reader.
//
// However, AsyncBuffer.Close() and AsyncBuffer.Error() will immediately return
// any stored error, even if the reader has not yet reached the error point.
