//!   (for network buffers to become available, for example). In this case the method will return true
//!   or a non-zero integer value. When this happens you must continue to call the method with the same
//!   parameters until it returns false or zero, before calling any other method on it or attached
//!   /p BufferedTransformation. The integer return value in this case is approximately
//!   the number of bytes left to be processed, and can be used to implement a progress bar.
//! \details For functions that take a "propagation" parameter, <tt>propagation != 0</tt> means pass on
//!   the signal to attached BufferedTransformation objects, with propagation decremented at each
//!   step until it reaches <tt>0</tt>. <tt>-1</tt> means unlimited propagation.
