[issue32052] Provide access to buffer of asyncio.StreamReader

[Andrew Svetlov]

Andrew Svetlov <andrew.svetlov at gmail.com> added the comment:

Exposing internal buffer means committing on a new API contract forever.

I feel a need for reacher read*() API but pretty sure that making internal buffer public is a bad idea. With BufferedProtocol it could be even worse: SLAB allocators can spit a buffer into several separate chunks.

`str.startswith()` supports a tuple of separators, maybe we can do the same for streaming API
