Description: The `BiocIO` package contains high-level abstract classes
        and generics used by developers to build IO funcionality within
        the Bioconductor suite of packages. Implements `import()` and
        `export()` standard generics for importing and exporting
        biological data formats. `import()` supports whole-file as well
        as chunk-wise iterative import. The `import()` interface
        optionally provides a standard mechanism for 'lazy' access via
        `filter()` (on row or element-like components of the file
        resource), `select()` (on column-like components of the file
        resource) and `collect()`. The `import()` interface optionally
        provides transparent access to remote (e.g. via https) as well
        as local access. Developers can register a file extension,
        e.g., `.loom` for dispatch from character-based URIs to
        specific `import()` / `export()` methods based on classes
        representing file types, e.g., `LoomFile()`.
