/// <summary>
/// One of the design goals here is to prevent the buffer from getting in the way and slowing
/// down underlying stream accesses when it is not needed. If you always read & write for sizes
/// greater than the internal buffer size, then this class may not even allocate the internal buffer.
/// See a large comment in Write for the details of the write buffer heuristic.
/// 
/// This class buffers reads & writes in a shared buffer.
/// (If you maintained two buffers separately, one operation would always trash the other buffer
/// anyways, so we might as well use one buffer.) 
/// The assumption here is you will almost always be doing a series of reads or writes, but rarely
/// alternate between the two of them on the same stream.
///
/// Class Invariants:
/// The class has one buffer, shared for reading & writing.
/// It can only be used for one or the other at any point in time - not both.
/// The following should be true:
/// <![CDATA[
///   * 0 <= _readPos <= _readLen < _bufferSize
///   * 0 <= _writePos < _bufferSize
///   * _readPos == _readLen && _readPos > 0 implies the read buffer is valid, but we're at the end of the buffer.
///   * _readPos == _readLen == 0 means the read buffer contains garbage.
///   * Either _writePos can be greater than 0, or _readLen & _readPos can be greater than zero,
///     but neither can be greater than zero at the same time.
///  ]]>
/// This class will never cache more bytes than the max specified buffer size.
/// However, it may use a temporary buffer of up to twice the size in order to combine several IO operations on
/// the underlying stream into a single operation. This is because we assume that memory copies are significantly
/// faster than IO operations on the underlying stream (if this was not true, using buffering is never appropriate).
/// The max size of this "shadow" buffer is limited as to not allocate it on the LOH.
/// Shadowing is always transient. Even when using this technique, this class still guarantees that the number of
/// bytes cached (not yet written to the target stream or not yet consumed by the user) is never larger than the 
/// actual specified buffer size.
