[section:BodyReader BodyReader]
A [*BodyReader] provides an online algorithm to obtain a sequence of zero
or more buffers from a body during serialization. The implementation creates
an instance of this type when needed, and calls into it one or more times to
retrieve buffers holding body octets. The interface of [*BodyReader] is
intended to obtain buffers for these scenarios:
* A body that does not entirely fit in memory.
* A body produced incrementally from coroutine output.
* A body represented by zero or more buffers already in memory.
* A body whose size is not known ahead of time.
* Body data generated dynamically from other threads.
* Body data computed algorithmically.
In this table:
* `X` denotes a type meeting the requirements of [*BodyReader].
* `B` denotes a __Body__ where
`std::is_same<X, B::reader>::value == true`.
* `a` denotes a value of type `X`.
* `m` denotes a possibly const value of type `message&` where
`std::is_same<decltype(m.body), Body::value_type>:value == true`.
* `ec` is a value of type [link beast.ref.beast__error_code `error_code&`].
* `R<T>` is the type `boost::optional<std::pair<T, bool>>`.

[
[`X::const_buffers_type`]
[]
[
A type which meets the requirements of __ConstBufferSequence__.
This is the type of buffer returned by `X::get`.
]
][
[`X(m);`]
[]
[
Constructible from `m`. The lifetime of `m` is guaranteed
to end no earlier than after the `X` is destroyed.
The reader shall not access the contents of `m` before the
first call to `init`, permitting lazy construction of the
message.
The constructor may optionally require that `m` is const, which
has these consequences:
* If `X` requires that `m` is a const reference, then serializers
constructed for messages with this body type will also require a
const reference to a message, otherwise:
* If `X` requires that `m` is a non-const reference, then serializers
constructed for messages with this body type will aso require
a non-const reference to a message.

[`a.init(ec)`]
[]
[
Called once to fully initialize the object before any calls to
`get`. The message body becomes valid before entering this function,
and remains valid until the reader is destroyed.
The function will ensure that `!ec` is `true` if there was
no error or set to the appropriate error code if there was one.
]
][
[`a.get(ec)`]
[`R<X::const_buffers_type>`]
[
Called one or more times after `init` succeeds. This function
returns `boost::none` if all buffers representing the body have
been returned in previous calls or if it sets `ec` to indicate an
error. Otherwise, if there are buffers remaining the function
should return a pair with the first element containing a non-zero
length buffer sequence representing the next set of octets in
the body, while the second element is a `bool` meaning `true`
if there may be additional buffers returned on a subsequent call,
or `false` if the buffer returned on this call is the last
buffer representing the body.
The function will ensure that `!ec` is `true` if there was
no error or set to the appropriate error code if there was one.
