* `fstrm_rdwr` is an interface for abstracting the process of reading and
* writing data to byte streams. It allows extending the `fstrm` library to
* support reading and writing Frame Streams data to new kinds of byte stream
* transports. (It also allows building mock interfaces for testing the correct
* functioning of the library.)
* `fstrm_rdwr` is a low-level interface that is used in conjunction with the
* higher level \ref fstrm_reader and \ref fstrm_writer interfaces. The
* following methods need to be defined for `fstrm_rdwr` implementations:
* Method name | Method type | Method description
* ------------ | ----------------------------- | ------------------
* `destroy` | #fstrm_rdwr_destroy_func | Destroys the instance.
* `open` | #fstrm_rdwr_open_func | Opens the stream.
* `close` | #fstrm_rdwr_close_func | Closes the stream.
* `read` | #fstrm_rdwr_read_func | Reads bytes from the stream.
* `write` | #fstrm_rdwr_write_func | Writes bytes to the stream.
* The `destroy` method is optional. It cleans up any remaining resources
* associated with the instance.
* The `open` method is required. It should perform the actual opening of the
* byte stream and prepare it to read or write data.
* The `close` method is required. It should perform the actual closing of the
* If the `fstrm_rdwr` object is to be used in an `fstrm_reader` object, it must
* have a `read` method. If the `fstrm_rdwr` object embedded in an
* `fstrm_reader` object also has a `write` method, the stream will be
* considered bi-directional (that is, it supports both reading and writing) and
* handshaking will be performed. If a `read` method is supplied but a `write`
* method is not, the reader's stream will instead be considered
* uni-directional. See \ref fstrm_reader for details.
* If the `fstrm_rdwr` object is to be used in an `fstrm_writer` object, it must
* have a `write` method. If the `fstrm_rdwr` object embedded in an
* `fstrm_writer` object also has a `read` method, the stream will be considered
* bi-directional and shaking will be performed. If a `write` method is supplied
* but a `read` method is not, the writer's stream will instead be considered
* uni-directional. See \ref fstrm_writer for details.
* An `fstrm_rdwr` instance is created with a call to `fstrm_rdwr_init()`,
* optionally passing a pointer to some state object associated with the
* instance. This pointer will be passed as the first argument to each of the
* methods described above. Then, the various `fstrm_rdwr_set_*()` functions
* should be used to configure the functions to be used to invoke the methods
* required for the `fstrm_rdwr` object.

* per-stream resources used by an `fstrm_rdwr` implementation.

* `open` method function type. This method is invoked to open the stream and
* prepare it for reading or writing. For example, if an `fstrm_rdwr`
