In the current documentation is the C API function TSIOBufferReaderRead which 
reads from an IOBufferReader in to a fixed buffer, the dual of 
TSIOBufferWriter. This function is not actually implemented which has caused 
some consternation. In working on providing an implementation, I came across an 
implementation for TSIOBufferReaderCopy which does (almost) the same thing but 
for unknown reasons was hidden from the C API. I have PR #5668 which unifies 
these, keeping the name TSIOBufferReaderCopy, cleaning up the implementation, 
and updating the documentation. It's somewhat unclear if this is really "new" 
API since a variant already existed and the non-existent variant was already 
documented, but might as well be clear and proper about it.
