    # Interface for streaming authenticated encryption with associated data.
    # Streaming encryption is typically used for encrypting large plaintexts
    # such as large files. This interface supports a streaming interface for
    # symmetric encryption with authentication. The underlying encryption modes
    # are selected so that partial plaintext can be obtained fast by decrypting
    # and authenticating just a part of the ciphertext.

        # Intentionally empty.

        # The cliffed CC primitive's only purpose is to be stored as a member
        # variable and later be passed to a wrapper function (which sidesteps
        # cliffing an OutputStream). Therefore Python doesn't need to know about
        # its methods, just that it exists.
