// chunkReader is a io.Reader wrapper that minimizes IO reads and memory allocations. It allocates memory in chunks and
// will read as much as will fit in the current buffer in a single call regardless of how large a read is actually
// requested. The memory returned via Next is only valid until the next call to Next.
//
// This is roughly equivalent to a bufio.Reader that only uses Peek and Discard to never copy bytes.
