/***
 * === Internal structure [[internal]]
 *
 * Generally speaking, a fastbuf consists of a buffer and a set of callbacks.
 * All front-end functions operate on the buffer and if the buffer becomes
 * empty or fills up, they ask the corresponding callback to handle the
 * situation. Back-ends then differ just in the definition of the callbacks.
 *
 * The state of the fastbuf is represented by a <<struct_fastbuf,`struct fastbuf`>>,
 * which is a simple structure describing the state of the buffer (the pointers
 * `buffer`, `bufend`), the front-end cursor (`bptr`), the back-end cursor (`bstop`),
 * position of the back-end cursor in the file (`pos`), some flags (`flags`)
 * and pointers to the callback functions.
 *
 * The buffer can be in one of the following states:
 *
 * 1. Flushed:
 *
 *    +------------------------------------+---------------------------+
 *    | unused                             | free space                |
 *    +------------------------------------+---------------------------+
 *    ^              ^                     ^                           ^
 *    buffer      <= bstop (BE pos)     <= bptr (FE pos)            <= bufend
 *
 *   * This schema describes a fastbuf after its initialization or bflush().
 *   * There is no cached data and we are ready for any read or write operation
 *     (well, only if the back-end supports it).
 *   * The interval `[bptr, bufend]` can be used by front-ends
 *     for writing. If it is empty, the `spout` callback gets called
 *     upon the first write attempt to allocate a new buffer. Otherwise
 *     the fastbuf silently comes to the writing mode.
 *   * When a front-end needs to read something, it calls the `refill` callback.
 *   * The pointers can be either all non-`NULL` or all NULL.
 *   * `bstop == bptr` in most back-ends, but it is not necessary. Some
 *     in-memory streams take advantage of this.
 *
 * 2. Reading:
 *
 *    +------------------------------------+---------------------------+
 *    | read data                          | unused                    |
 *    +------------------------------------+---------------------------+
 *    ^               ^                    ^                           ^
 *    buffer       <= bptr (FE pos)     <= bstop (BE pos)           <= bufend
 *
 *   * If we try to read something, we get to the reading mode.
 *   * No writing is allowed until a flush operation. But note that @bflush()
 *     will simply set `bptr` to `bstop` before `spout`
 *     and it breaks the position of the front-end's cursor,
 *     so the user should seek afwards.
 *   * The interval `[buffer, bstop]` contains a block of data read by the back-end.
 *     `bptr` is the front-end's cursor which points to the next character to be read.
 *     After the last character is read, `bptr == bstop` and the `refill` callback
 *     gets called upon the next read attempt to bring further data.
 *     This gives us an easy way how to implement @bungetc().
 *
 * 3. Writing:
 *
 *    +-----------------------+----------------+-----------------------+
 *    | unused                | written data   | free space            |
 *    +-----------------------+----------------+-----------------------+
 *    ^            ^                           ^                       ^
 *    buffer    <= bstop (BE pos)            < bptr (FE pos)        <= bufend
 *
 *   * This schema corresponds to the situation after a write attempt.
 *   * No reading is allowed until a flush operation.
 *   * The `bptr` points at the position where the next character
 *     will be written to. When we want to write, but `bptr == bufend`, we call
 *     the `spout` hook to flush the witten data and get an empty buffer.
 *   * `bstop` usually points at the beginning of the written data,
 *     but it is not necessary.
 *
 *
 * Rules for back-ends:
 *
 *   - Front-ends are only allowed to change the value of `bptr`, some flags
 *     and if a fatal error occurs, then also `bstop`. Back-ends can rely on it.
 *   - `buffer <= bstop <= bufend` and `buffer <= bptr <= bufend`.
 *   - `pos` should be the real position in the file corresponding to the location of `bstop` in the buffer.
 *     It can be modified by any back-end's callback, but the position of `bptr` (`pos + (bptr - bstop)`)
 *     must stay unchanged after `refill` or `spout`.
 *   - Failed callbacks (except `close`) should use @bthrow().
 *   - Any callback pointer may be NULL in case the callback is not implemented.
 *   - Callbacks can change not only `bptr` and `bstop`, but also the location and size of the buffer;
 *     the fb-mem back-end takes advantage of it.
 *
 *   - Initialization:
 *     * out: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (flushed).
 *
 *   - `refill`:
 *     * in: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (reading or flushed).
 *     * out: `buffer <= bptr <= bstop <= bufend` (reading).
 *     * Resulting `bptr == bstop` signals the end of file.
 *       The next reading attempt will again call `refill` which can succeed this time.
 *     * The callback must also return zero on EOF (iff `bptr == bstop`).
 *
 *   - `spout`:
 *     * in: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (writing or flushed).
 *     * out: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr < bufend` (flushed).
 *
 *   - `seek`:
 *     * in: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (flushed).
 *     * in: `(ofs >= 0 && whence == SEEK_SET) || (ofs <= 0 && whence == SEEK_END)`.
 *     * out: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (flushed).
 *
 *   - `close`:
 *     * in: `buffer <= bstop <= bptr <= bufend` (flushed or after @bthrow()).
 *     * `close` must always free all internal structures, even when it throws an exception.
