I am unable to think of any examples where you want chunking for any
reason other than efficiency.
For many hashing or de/encryption algorithms, chunking is more natural than
single-character access.
Even when the chunk lengths are unpredictable? After all, unlike with
fread in C, you can't request the next chunk to have a certain length
with Iteratees.
