+-- | This module provides incremental binary data decoding. The data stream
+-- from which bytes are read is represented as a monadic action which returns a
+-- strict ByteString. If the ByteString returned is empty, it means there is no
+-- more input. The intention is that the ByteStrings returned are of constant
+-- size, e.g. the lazy ByteString chunk size, or some network-specific chunk or
+-- packet size.
