You can use either the `read!` macro to read a single value and return it, or
the `scan!` macro to read one or more values into variables. Both macros can
also read from a file or from memory. The `read!` macro can take any type that
implements `Iterator` as an optional third argument, and the `scan!`
macro's arguments can be prefixed with `iter => ` where `iter` implements
`Iterator`.

# Examples

## scan! macro

```rust
use text_io::scan;

// reading from a string source
let i: i32;
scan!("12".bytes() => "{}", i);
assert_eq!(i, 12);

// reading multiple values from stdio
let a: i32;
let b: &mut u8 = &mut 5;
scan!("{}, {}", a, *b);
```

## read! macro

```rust
use text_io::read;

// read until a whitespace and try to convert what was read into an i32
let i: i32 = read!();

// read until a whitespace (but not including it)
let word: String = read!(); // same as read!("{}")

// read until a newline (but not including it)
let line: String = read!("{}\n");

// expect the input "" or panic
// read until the next "<" and return that.
// expect the input "/i>
"
let stuff: String = read!("{}");

// reading from files
use std::io::Read;
let mut file = std::fs::File::open("tests/answer.txt").unwrap().bytes().map(|ch| ch.unwrap());
let val: i32 = read!("The answer is {}!!!11einself\n", file);

// reading from strings
let val: i32 = read!("Number: {}", "Number: 99".bytes());
```
