As noted on recently on golang-nuts, there's currently no way to know the total size of a strings.Reader or bytes.Reader when using ReadAt on them. Most callers resort to wrapping it in an io.SectionReader to retain that information. The SizeReaderAt abstraction (an io.ReaderAt with a Size() int64 method) has proven useful as a way of expressing a concurrency-safe read-only number of bytes. As one example, see http://talks.golang.org/2013/oscon-dl.slide#49 and the rest of that presentation for its use in dl.google.com. SizeReaderAt is also used in the open source google-api-go-client, and within Google's internal codebase, where it exists in a public package created in 2013 with the package comment: "These may migrate to the standard library after we have enough experience with their feel." I'm still as happy with the SizeReaderAt abstraction and its composabilty as I was in 2013, so I'd like to make these two Readers also be SizeReaderAts.
