I changed part of the ASN1 decoder to use IOBuffer. Some comments
- Stdio.IOBuffer is harder to type than ADT.struct. Can we rename it
to Stdio.Buffer? There is already IO in Stdio.
- get_ is shorter than read_. I'm on the fence on if this is a good
change though.
- read_buffer dosn't
- There are add_int8 and add_byte, but no read_byte.
- The implementation of add_int8 and add_byte are copies. If we should
keep two methods (I'm not convinced), we could make the method
registration point to the same C function instead.
The program id part of CMOD is a bit too losely defined. If I change
IOBuffer to Buffer it becomes a String.Buffer since the code only
concerns itself with the class name. That's a bit dangerous.

I tried Stdio.Buffer but then all types suddenly became String.Buffer.
I could not, at that time at least, be bothered to fix the
precompiler...
- read_buffer dosn't return
