Research direction

Start by comparing the embedded_io::Seek and embedded_io::BufRead traits with their std::io counterparts, focusing on seek_relative and skip_until. Determine the API and implementation scope for adding either method; done means the project has a decided, compatible approach for the requested trait methods.

Do you plan to add them?
I am specifically interested in BufRead::skip_until and Seek::seek_relative that claims to perform better in some cases.
