Uniform-IO provides a typeclass for uniform access of different types of targets,
and implementations for abstracting standard streams, files and network connections.
This module also provides TLS wraping over other IO targets.

Reads io untill the end of file, evaluating a(i) <- f a(i-1) read_data
where a(0) = initial and the last value after io reaches EOF is returned.

Notice that the length of read_data might not be equal block_size.
