		module Body
			# Represents a readable input streams.
			#
			# There are two major modes of operation:
			#
			# 1. Reading chunks using {read} (or {each}/{join}), until the body is empty, or
			# 2. Streaming chunks using {call}, which writes chunks to a provided output stream.
			#
			# In both cases, reading can fail, for example if the body represents a streaming upload, and the connection is lost. In this case, {read} will raise some kind of error, or the stream will be closed with an error.
			#
			# At any point, you can use {close} to close the stream and release any resources, or {discard} to read all remaining data without processing it which may allow the underlying connection to be reused (but can be slower).
			class Readable
				# Close the stream immediately. After invoking this method, the stream should be considered closed, and all internal resources should be released.
				#
				# If an error occured while handling the output, it can be passed as an argument. This may be propagated to the client, for example the client may be informed that the stream was not fully read correctly.
				#
				# Invoking {read} after {close} will return `nil`.
				#
				# @parameter error [Exception | Nil] The error that caused this stream to be closed, if any.
				def close(error = nil)

				# - If this returns true, then calling read will definitely return nil.
				# - If this returns false, then calling read may return nil.
