I'm not sure what you mean by 'normal code' on the outside. readv() is
meant to be the abstraction, the Transport can do whatever it wants to
make it fast.

My point was to have SFTP do the same thing that HTTP is doing. Pull
over any overlapping, nearby, etc ranges. And then return the requested
hunks in the order requested. Rather than reading in hunks in the order
that they were requested, just because we *can* seek on an SFTP handle.
