/*
  DataPipe is a mechanism which allows you to pipe data from an OutputStream to an InputStream within a single thread.
  This differs from a PipedInputStream/PipedOutputSteam pair in that it permits a single thread (in fact requires it
  due to lack of synchronization for speed).  To do this, the DataPipe maintains an extensible buffer which gets as large
  as necessary when filled with data from the InputStream, then expels it out the OutputStream when called.  The
  default Input and Output streams of a DataPipe are DataInputStream and DataOutputStream, since reading and writing
  binary objects is its primary function.

  <p>The procedure is as follows: create the DataPipe, then start writing to its DataInputStream.  When you are done,
  start reading from its DataOutputStream. DataPipe is meant to be one-shot: write a bunch of stuff, then read <i>all</i> of it.
  You shouldn't read and write piecemeal as the DataPipe is not a true circular buffer and will grow without bound with wasted
  space equal to the amount you've read so far.

  <p>You <i>can</i>, however, reuse the DataPipe by calling reset() on it.  
  Note that this retains the current buffer however large it has grown to.
