// Note that if you want to *read* a delimited message from a file descriptor
// or istream, you will need to construct an io::FileInputStream or
// io::OstreamInputStream (implementations of io::ZeroCopyStream) and use the
// utility function ParseDelimitedFromZeroCopyStream(). You must then
// continue to use the same ZeroCopyInputStream to read all further data from
// the stream until EOF. This is because these ZeroCopyInputStream
// implementations are buffered: they read a big chunk of data at a time,
// then parse it. As a result, they may read past the end of the delimited
// message. There is no way for them to push the extra data back into the
// underlying source, so instead you must keep using the same stream object.
