% File: bit_buffer.read.m.
% Main author: stayl.
% Stability: low.
%
% A bit buffer provides an interface between bit-oriented input requests
% and byte-oriented streams, getting a large chunk of bits with one call
% to `bulk_get', then satisfying bit-oriented requests from the buffer.
%
% Return values of `error(...)' are only used for errors in the stream
% being read.  Once an error value has been returned, all future calls
% will return that error.
%
% Bounds errors or invalid argument errors (for example a read request
% for a negative number of bits) will result in an exception being thrown.
% Requests triggering an exception in this way will not change the state
% of the stream.
%
% CAVEAT: the user is referred to the documentation in the header
% of array.m regarding programming with unique objects (the compiler
% does not currently recognise them, hence we are forced to use
% non-unique modes until the situation is rectified; this places
% a small burden on the programmer to ensure the correctness of his
% code that would otherwise be assured by the compiler.)
