+// arbitrary sequence of bytes that is preceeded by N header bytes, indicating
+// its size. Data may be appended to the buffer with no particular respect of
+// chunks boundaries. However, chunks can be extracted (FIFO) only when their
+// content (according to their header) is fully available in the buffer.
+// The current implementation support only 4 byte Big Endian headers.
+// Empty chunks (i.e. the sequence 00 00 00 00) are NOT allowed.
