++Fixed :meth:`~aiohttp.StreamReader.readany` and :meth:`~aiohttp.StreamReader.read_nowait` joining data fed back into the buffer during the call (when draining below the low water mark resumes reading) into a single unbounded :class:`bytes`; a call now returns only the chunks that were buffered when it started, keeping the drain of an unread auto-decompressed request body bounded by the read buffer -- by :user:`bdraco`.
