- *Adapters* are components that connect ThingFlows to the external
- world. *Readers* are event output things which source an event stream
- into an ThingFlow process. *Writers* are input things that
- translate an event stream to a form used outside of the ThingFlow
- process. For example, `CsvReader` is a output thing that reads
- events from a CSV-formatted spreadsheet file and `CsvWriter`
- is an input thing that writes events to a CSV file.
- Why don't we just call adapters OutputThings and InputThings? We
- want to avoid confusion do to the fact that an OutputThing is used to connect
- to external inputs while external outputs interface via InputThings.
