        # does, it assumes that it will get at least X bytes from X compressed bytes
        # in call cases.

        # is already complete, but there are still some bytes left in the compressed
        # stream that contribute to the amount of compressed bytes.
        # How can we know that we are truly done, and have read all bytes we need
        # to read ?
        # Without help, we cannot know, as we need to obtain the status of the
        # decompression. If it is not finished, we need to decompress more data
        # until it is finished, to yield the actual number of compressed bytes
