// Generalized Pipeline interface.  By convention, subclasses of Pipeline are called Pl_Something.
//
// When an instance of Pipeline is created with a pointer to a next pipeline, that pipeline writes
// its data to the next one when it finishes with it.  In order to make possible a usage style in
// which a pipeline may be passed to a function which may stick other pipelines in front of it, the
// allocator of a pipeline is responsible for its destruction.  In other words, one pipeline object
// does not attempt to manage the memory of its successor.
//
// The client is required to call finish() before destroying a Pipeline in order to avoid loss of
// data.  A Pipeline class should not throw an exception in the destructor if this hasn't been done
// though since doing so causes too much trouble when deleting pipelines during error conditions.
//
// Some pipelines are reusable (i.e., you can call write() after calling finish() and can call
// finish() multiple times) while others are not.  It is up to the caller to use a pipeline
// according to its own restrictions.
