Although you're using it on large files, it seems that this module is really
about buffered reads. Maybe people would want to use it for files other than
large files. As Johan noted, though, Perl is already supposed to do this for
you.

What about File::ReadBuffer or something like that, to describe what it's
doing instead of a particular use case?
