System.IO.Pipelines: Copy-Free Parsing with PipeReader, PipeWriter and ReadOnlySequence
System.IO.Pipelines takes over the work of lines split across buffers, buffer growth and copying, and lets you parse data without turning it into strings; the key to using it correctly is the AdvanceTo(consumed, examined) rule.
