/*! BufferedTransformation is a generalization of BlockTransformation,
	StreamTransformation, and HashTransformation.

	A buffered transformation is an object that takes a stream of bytes
	as input (this may be done in stages), does some computation on them, and
	then places the result into an internal buffer for later retrieval.  Any
	partial result already in the output buffer is not modified by further
	input.

	If a method takes a "blocking" parameter, and you
	pass "false" for it, the method will return before all input has been processed if
	the input cannot be processed without waiting (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 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.

	For functions that take a "propagation" parameter, propagation != 0 means pass on the signal to attached
	BufferedTransformation objects, with propagation decremented at each step until it reaches 0.
	-1 means unlimited propagation.
