  • Scanner to read file from the end

    A while back, I had this task of reading a file backward, line by line, to find a particular value. There is no solution in std lib. So, I tried to use some existent solution from github, like backscanner. But you know what? After wrestling with some tricky corner cases and realising it didn't quite fit my needs, I rolled up my sleeves and came up with my own solution. And just last week, I decided to built a highly effective reverse scanner - rscanner. I tried to cover all those corner cases, made interface similar to bufio.Scanner and kept it effective. Any thoughts or feedback are welcome!
