references to the virtual stack pointer from references to the architectural
<code>SP</code> register.
That is, <code>x-8(SP)</code> and <code>-8(SP)</code>
are different memory locations:
the first refers to the virtual stack pointer pseudo-register,
while the second refers to the
hardware's <code>SP</code> register.

On machines where <code>SP</code> and <code>PC</code> are
traditionally aliases for a physical, numbered register,

// to the default size.
// Calling b.Reset(b) (that is, resetting a [Reader] to itself) does nothing.
func (b *Reader) Reset(r io.Reader) {
	// If a Reader r is passed to NewReader, NewReader will return r.
	// Different layers of code may do that, and then later pass r
	// to Reset. Avoid infinite recursion in that case.
	if b == r {
		return
	}
	if b.buf == nil {
		b.buf = make([]byte, defaultBufSize)
	}
	b.reset(b.buf, r)
}
