Nope. Assign responsibility to the class that has all of the relevant knowledge (API for retrieving blocks, type of the retrieved data, how EOF is detected, etc). > It's a generalisation of the basic > pattern here, and would be able to encapsulate the fiddly "what if a > separator overlaps a block split" logic without locking it down to > string manipulation... How do you build, scan, and extract the buffer in a type independent manner? Are there any use cases for non-string data buffers, a stream of integers or somesuch?
