 #
 # The only requirement for a type including the `IO` module is to define

-# * `read(slice : Bytes)`: read at most *slice.size* bytes into *slice* and return the number of bytes read
+# * `read(slice : Bytes)`: read at most *slice.size* bytes from IO into *slice* and return the number of bytes read
 # * `write(slice : Bytes)`: write the whole *slice* into the IO

 # For example, this is a simple `IO` on top of a `Bytes`:
