+A buffered reader object and buffered writer object put together to
+form a sequential IO object that can read and write. This is typically
+used with a socket or two-way pipe.
+
+reader and writer are RawIOBase objects that are readable and
+writeable respectively. If the buffer_size is omitted it defaults to
+DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE.
