You can't do that directly because you can only write to io.Writer-s.
This is reasonable if you stop and think about it for a moment: an
io.Writer is a "push-style" interface -- you write something to
whatever is implementing it and block until that action happens; --
conversely, io.Reader is a "pull-style" interface -- you read something
from a source and that blocks until the source is ready.
To glue a writer and a reader you need some intermediate "thing" which
would simultaneostly be a reader and a writer (!) -- so that it
satisfies both kinds of interfaces described above.
Such things are called "pipes" and Go provides at least two of them:
* io.Pipe is a pure-Go pipe;
* os.Pipe is a pipe provided by the underlying kernel.
The former is supposedly what you need.
Still note that to make
z -> pipe -> io.reader
really work the "z" and the "io.reader" parts have to be in separate
goroutines otherwise they will block one another.
