5/// Private helper struct for implementing the line-buffered writing logic.
6///
7/// This shim temporarily wraps a BufWriter, and uses its internals to
8/// implement a line-buffered writer (specifically by using the internal
9/// methods like write_to_buf and flush_buf). In this way, a more
10/// efficient abstraction can be created than one that only had access to
11/// `write` and `flush`, without needlessly duplicating a lot of the
12/// implementation details of BufWriter. This also allows existing
13/// `BufWriters` to be temporarily given line-buffering logic; this is what
14/// enables Stdout to be alternately in line-buffered or block-buffered mode.
