/* This file declares an API for decoding binary messages.
   Goals:

     - You say in advance if there is a message size limit

     - The object can be bound to a memory buffer of an I/O buffer

     - After having set up the object, you get two APIs:

       1. read bytes
       2. was there an error?

       If you parse a memory buffer manually, you need to do range
       checking for every byte. If you parse from an I/O buffer
       manually, you need to check for end of file or I/O error after
       every byte.

       This API will return 0 bytes and set the error flag when you read
       past the limit. That way you don't have to check after every
       byte, but only once at the end of each sub-message.

     - Many binary protocols have a message length and then sub-packets.
       For example, an IPv4 packet has a header with a length and the IP
       options. With this abstraction here, you would have one
       bytestream for the packet (with size limit set to how many bytes
       came in from the network) and then you would make a new
       bytestream for the IP header and another one for the option
       headers. Each would only let you read bytes from that subregion,
       and would do bounds checking at instantiation time to make sure
       it physically fits into to upper layer space.
