+    Implementation notes:
+    
+    * BufferedReader, BufferedWriter and BufferedRandom try to share most
+      methods (this is helped by the members `readable` and `writable`, which
+      are initialized in the respective constructors)
+    * They also share a single buffer for reading and writing. This enables
+      interleaved reads and writes without flushing. It also makes the logic
+      a bit trickier to get right.
+    * The absolute position of the raw stream is cached, if possible, in the
+      `abs_pos` member. It must be updated every time an operation is done
+      on the raw stream. If not sure, it can be reinitialized by calling
+      _Buffered_raw_tell(), which queries the raw stream (_Buffered_raw_seek()
+      also does it). To read it, use RAW_TELL().
+    * Three helpers, _BufferedReader_raw_read, _BufferedWriter_raw_write and
+      _BufferedWriter_flush_unlocked do a lot of useful housekeeping.
+
+    NOTE: we should try to maintain block alignment of reads and writes to the
+    raw stream (according to the buffer size), but for now it is only done
+    in read() and friends.
+    
+    XXX: method naming is a bit messy.

+"means that all writes append to the end of the file regardless of the\n"
+"current seek position). In text mode, if encoding is not specified the\n"

+"--------- ---------------------------------------------------------------\n"

+"'+'       open a disk file for updating (reading and writing)\n"
+"'U'       universal newline mode (for backwards compatibility; unneeded\n"
+"          for new code)\n"
+"========= ===============================================================\n"
+"\n"
+"The default mode is 'rt' (open for reading text). For binary random\n"
+"access, the mode 'w+b' opens and truncates the file to 0 bytes, while\n"
+"'r+b' opens the file without truncation.\n"
+"\n"
+"Python distinguishes between files opened in binary and text modes,\n"
+"even when the underlying operating system doesn't. Files opened in\n"
+"binary mode (appending 'b' to the mode argument) return contents as\n"
+"bytes objects without any decoding. In text mode (the default, or when\n"
+"'t' is appended to the mode argument), the contents of the file are\n"
+"returned as strings, the bytes having been first decoded using a\n"
+"platform-dependent encoding or using the specified encoding if given.\n"
+"\n"
+"buffering is an optional integer used to set the buffering policy. By\n"
+"default full buffering is on. Pass 0 to switch buffering off (only\n"
+"allowed in binary mode), 1 to set line buffering, and an integer > 1\n"
+"for full buffering.\n"
+"\n"
+"encoding is the name of the encoding used to decode or encode the\n"
+"file. This should only be used in text mode. The default encoding is\n"
+"platform dependent, but any encoding supported by Python can be\n"
+"passed.  See the codecs module for the list of supported encodings.\n"
+"\n"
+"errors is an optional string that specifies how encoding errors are to\n"
+"be handled---this argument should not be used in binary mode. Pass\n"
+"'strict' to raise a ValueError exception if there is an encoding error\n"
+"(the default of None has the same effect), or pass 'ignore' to ignore\n"
+"errors. (Note that ignoring encoding errors can lead to data loss.)\n"
+"See the documentation for codecs.register for a list of the permitted\n"
+"encoding error strings.\n"
+"\n"
+"newline controls how universal newlines works (it only applies to text\n"
+"mode). It can be None, '', '\\n', '\\r', and '\\r\\n'.  It works as\n"
+"follows:\n"
+"\n"
+"* On input, if newline is None, universal newlines mode is\n"
+"  enabled. Lines in the input can end in '\\n', '\\r', or '\\r\\n', and\n"
+"  these are translated into '\\n' before being returned to the\n"
+"  caller. If it is '', universal newline mode is enabled, but line\n"
+"  endings are returned to the caller untranslated. If it has any of\n"
+"  the other legal values, input lines are only terminated by the given\n"
+"  string, and the line ending is returned to the caller untranslated.\n"
+"\n"
+"* On output, if newline is None, any '\\n' characters written are\n"
+"  translated to the system default line separator, os.linesep. If\n"
+"  newline is '', no translation takes place. If newline is any of the\n"
+"  other legal values, any '\\n' characters written are translated to\n"
+"  the given string.\n"
+"\n"
+"If closefd is False, the underlying file descriptor will be kept open\n"
+"when the file is closed. This does not work when a file name is given\n"
+"and must be True in that case.\n"
+"\n"
+"open() returns a file object whose type depends on the mode, and\n"
+"through which the standard file operations such as reading and writing\n"
+"are performed. When open() is used to open a file in a text mode ('w',\n"

+"mode, it returns a BufferedReader; in write binary and append binary\n"
+"modes, it returns a BufferedWriter, and in read/write mode, it returns\n"
+"a BufferedRandom.\n"
