Currently if one calls `set_position` on a cursor setting the position greater than the total length of the inner buffer future calls to `Read` will panic. Bad `Cursor` - no biscuit. Mirror the stdlib `Cursor` and allow setting the position to any value. Make reads past the end of the buffer return `Ok(0)`. |

Rust-Bitcoin IO Library
The std::io
module is not exposed in no-std
Rust so building no-std
applications which require
reading and writing objects via standard traits is not generally possible. Thus, this library exists
to export a minimal version of std::io
's traits which we use in rust-bitcoin
so that we can
support no-std
applications.
These traits are not one-for-one drop-ins, but are as close as possible while still implementing
std::io
's traits without unnecessary complexity.
