Ugh. A quick look at some Nordic docs seems to imply that _both_ of
these will be true.
Not only does Nordic have a APP_UART_FIFO_INIT() thing in their UART
SDK, there's also magic for reading buttons and setting LED lights
etc. So it looks like there is a lot more than just "transfer data".
It also looks like the buffering done by the UART->BLE end is line-based:
"Received characters are buffered into a string until a new line
character is received or the size of the string exceeds the limit
defined by NUS_MAX_DATA_LENGTH"
which means that I wouldn't be surprised if Cressi might have added
newlines to the protocol just to get that UART->BLE side to flush in a
timely manner.
So ouch. This looks more complex than most BLE things have been.
