Request/discussion: BufferedReader reading using async API while providing sync API

[Brunoais]

Any feedback on this? I'm really interested in implementing such 
BufferedReader/BufferedStreamReader to allow speeding up my applications 
without having to think in an asynchronous way or multi-threading while 
programming with it.

That's why I'm asking this here.
