Class: RFuzz::PushBackIO

A simple class that using a StringIO object internally to allow for faster and simpler "push back" semantics. It basically lets you read a random amount from a secondary IO object, parse what is needed, and then anything remaining can be quickly pushed back in one chunk for the next read.

protect() {|| ...}

push(content)

Pushes the given string content back onto the stream for the next read to handle.

read(n, partial=false)

First does a read from the internal buffer, and then appends anything needed from the secondary IO to complete the request. The return value is guaranteed to be a String, and never nil. If it returns a string of length 0 then there is nothing to read from the buffer (most likely closed). It will also avoid reading from a secondary that’s closed.

If partial==true then readpartial is used instead.
