/**
 * Stack Overflow question reader.
 *
 * Hits the public Stack Exchange API:
 *   GET /questions/{id}?site=stackoverflow&filter=withbody
 *   GET /questions/{id}/answers?site=stackoverflow&filter=withbody
 *   GET /questions/{id}/comments?site=stackoverflow&filter=withbody
 *   GET /answers/{a1;a2;...}/comments?site=stackoverflow&filter=withbody
 *
 * Three calls are needed because comments under answers are not bundled in
 * the answers payload. We batch all answer-comment fetches into a single
 * semicolon-joined call. SO has its own quota (300/day for unauthenticated
 * IP), but a `read` consumes at most 4 quota units, or 5 when the accepted
 * answer is missing from the requested answer page and must be fetched by id.
 *
 * Output rows mirror `hackernews read` and `lobsters read`:
 *   - first row is the question itself (`type=POST`)
 *   - one row per top-level question comment (`type=Q-COMMENT`)
 *   - per answer: an `ANSWER` row plus its `A-COMMENT` rows indented under it
 *   - the accepted answer (if any) is surfaced first and tagged `accepted=true`
