// IOVector is a helper class that makes it easier to work with POSIX vector I/O
// struct. It is a thin wrapper by design and thus has no virtual functions and
// all inlined methods. This class makes no assumptions about the ordering of
// the pointer values of the blocks appended, it simply counts bytes when asked
// to consume bytes.
//
// IOVector is a bookkeeping object that collects a description of buffers to
// be read or written together and in order. It does not take ownership of the
// blocks appended.
//
// Because it is used for scatter-gather operations, the order in which the
// buffer blocks are added to the IOVector is important to the client. The
// intended usage pattern is:
//
//   iovector.Append(p0, len0);
//   ...
//   iovector.Append(pn, lenn);
//   int bytes_written = writev(fd, iovector.iovec(), iovector.Size());
//   if (bytes_written > 0)
//     iovector.Consume(bytes_written);
//
// The sequence is the same for readv, except that Consume() in this case is
// used to change the IOVector to only keep track of description of blocks of
// memory not yet written to.
//
// IOVector does not have any method to change the iovec entries that it
// accumulates. This is due to the block merging nature of Append(): we'd like
// to avoid accidentally change an entry that is assembled by two or more
// Append()'s by simply an index access.
