	/**
	 * Creates a sub-stream of a given stream.  This allows you to read and
	 * write safely to a section of another stream, keeping all data within
	 * the given bounds.  The substream acts exactly like a top level stream
	 * when you reach the bounds of either the containing stream or the
	 * artificial bounds of the substream, except that unlike many stream types,
	 * when writing you cannot move beyond the bounds of the substream.  Reads,
	 * on the other hand, work exactly the same way, returning less data than
	 * requested when the end of the stream is reached.
	 *
	 * The substream always begins at the current position in the base stream,
	 * if you would like to skip some data first, simply seek.
	 *
	 * The substream class is safe to use with all blocking and non-blocking
	 * base streams, including sockets, however it can have unpredictable
	 * results when used on a buffering stream that may read more data than
	 * requested in order to complete a request such as the buffer or bzip2
	 * filters.
