If you are writing code where you just want to grab large
chunks of data from a socket at a time, and you don't care
about the rest of the code operating on characters, you can do
this.
someSocket.byChunk(bufferSize).joiner.doSomething;
But then many ranges will already use an internal buffer, but
present a range of bytes anyway.
In a lot of cases 'doSomething` conveniently needs random access
to the input data. With byChunk I cannot see how you can do this
without copying.
