/**
 * Stateful decoder class, modelled after TQTextDecoder.
 *
 * @section Overview
 *
 * KMime decoders are designed to be able to process encoded data in
 * chunks of arbitrary size and to work with output buffers of also
 * arbitrary size. They maintain any state necessary to go on where
 * the previous call left off.
 *
 * The class consists of only two methods of interest: see decode,
 * which decodes an input block and finalize, which flushes any
 * remaining data to the output stream.
 *
 * Typically, you will create a decoder instance, call decode as
 * often as necessary, then call finalize (most often a single
 * call suffices, but it might be that during that call the output
 * buffer is filled, so you should be prepared to call finalize
 * as often as necessary, ie. until it returns @p true).
 *
 * @section Return Values
 *
 * Both methods return @p true to indicate that they've finished their
 * job. For decode, a return value of @p true means that the
 * current input block has been finished (@p false most often means
 * that the output buffer is full, but that isn't required
 * behavior. The decode call is free to return at arbitrary
 * times during processing).
 *
 * For finalize, a return value of @p true means that all data
 * implicitly or explicitly stored in the decoder instance has been
 * flushed to the output buffer. A @p false return value should be
 * interpreted as "check if the output buffer is full and call me
 * again", just as with decode.
 *
 * @section Usage Pattern
 *
 * Since the decoder maintains state, you can only use it once. After
 * a sequence of input blocks has been processed, you finalize
 * the output and then delete the decoder instance. If you want to
 * process another input block sequence, you create a new instance.
 *
 * Typical usage (@p in contains the (base64-encoded) input data),
 * taking into account all the conventions detailed above:
 *
 * <pre>
 * KMime::Codec * codec = KMime::Codec::codecForName( "base64" );
 * kdFatal( !codec ) << "No codec found for base64!" << endl;
 * KMime::Decoder * dec = codec->makeDecoder();
 * assert( dec ); // should not happen
 * TQByteArray out( 256 ); // small buffer is enough ;-)
 * TQByteArray::Iterator iit = in.begin();
 * TQByteArray::Iterator oit = out.begin();
 * // decode the chunk
 * while ( !dec->decode( iit, in.end(), oit, out.end() ) )
 *   if ( oit == out.end() ) { // output buffer full, process contents
 *     do_something_with( out );
 *     oit = out.begin();
 *   }
 * // repeat while loop for each input block
 * // ...
 * // finish (flush remaining data from decoder):
 * while ( !dec->finish( oit, out.end() ) )
 *   if ( oit == out.end() ) { // output buffer full, process contents
 *     do_something_with( out );
 *     oit = out.begin();
 *   }
 * // now process last chunk:
 * out.resize( oit - out.begin() );
 * do_something_with( out );
 * // _delete_ the decoder, but not the codec:
 * delete dec;
 * </pre>
