10[section:BodyReader BodyReader]
11
12A [*BodyReader] provides an online algorithm to transfer a series of zero
13or more buffers containing parsed body octets into a message container. The
14__parser__ creates an instance of this type when needed, and calls into
15it zero or more times to transfer buffers. The interface of [*BodyReader]
16is intended to allow the conversion of buffers into these scenarios for
17representation:
18
19* Storing a body in a dynamic buffer
20* Storing a body in a user defined container with a custom allocator
21* Transformation of incoming body data before storage, for example
22  to compress it first.
23* Saving body data to a file

37In this table:
38
39* `R` denotes a type meeting the requirements of [*BodyReader].
40* `B` denotes a __Body__ where
41      `std::is_same<R, B::reader>::value == true`.
42* `a` denotes a value of type `R`.
43* `b` is an object whose type meets the requirements of __ConstBufferSequence__
44* `h` denotes a value of type `header<isRequest, Fields>&`.
45* `v` denotes a value of type `Body::value_type&`.
46* `n` is a value of type `boost::optional<std::uint64_t>`.
47* `ec` is a value of type [link beast.ref.boost__beast__error_code `error_code&`].

57        The reader shall not access the contents of `h` or `v` before
58        the first call to `init`, permitting lazy construction of the
