    This is somewhat the "spiritual counterpart" to our sequential ingestion
    code (`ConcurrentBlobUploader`, used by `ingest_nar`), which keeps
    "some amount of outgoing bytes" in memory.
-   This is somewhat blocked until the {Chunk/Blob}Service split is done, as then
-   prefetching would only be a matter of adding it into the one `BlobReader`.
+   Our seekable NAR AsyncRead implementation already removes most complexity in

+   It should be possible to extend / write a wrapped version of it that
