The web chat has extremely low limits FYI. I ran into the limit twice before getting a sane answer and gave up

that is weird that they call it a Wiki when it is not a wiki any more - you have to submit changes for approval

100%. It's the most important piece of information. How anyone can forget to include it floors me

Jesus what a terrible blog. The post is not dated at all, which in my opinion is the single most important piece of information. Also no mobile layout, so I have to manually scroll like a typewriter to read each line. What decade are we in?

> What I would like is for my image decoding function to notice that the io.Reader it has been given is in fact a bytes.Reader so we can skip the copy.

What a terrible idea. If you want bytes.reader, then use that in the function signature, or better yet just a byte slice. It should have been a red flag when your solution involves the unsafe package
