No, the interface does not cope with partial reads and writes ("Last
is less than Item'Last only if the end of the stream is reached).
Unfortunately, they are common in networking applications, and the
layer below the streams would need protocol-dependent knowledge to
tell whether an end-of-stream condition is reached.
