/* Lightweight output stream.
 * You can provide callback for writing or use pb_ostream_from_buffer.
 * 
 * Alternatively, callback can be NULL in which case the stream will just
 * count the number of bytes that would have been written. In this case
 * max_size is not checked.
 *
 * Rules for callback:
 * 1) Return false on IO errors. This will cause encoding to abort.
 * 
 * 2) You can use state to store your own data (e.g. buffer pointer).
 * 
 * 3) pb_write will update bytes_written after your callback runs.
 * 
 * 4) Substreams will modify max_size and bytes_written. Don't use them to
 * calculate any pointers.
