// A buffered pipe is a Writeable that also acts as a Writer (to whichever other writeable is passed
// to -startWithWriteable:).
// Once it is started, whatever values are written into it (via -writeValue:) will be propagated
// immediately, unless flow control prevents it.
// If it is throttled and keeps receiving values, as well as if it receives values before being
// started, it will buffer them and propagate them in order as soon as its state becomes
// GRXWriterStateStarted.
// If it receives an error (via -writesFinishedWithError:), it will drop any buffered values and
// propagate the error immediately.
//
// Beware that a pipe of this type can't prevent receiving more values when it is paused (for
// example if used to write data to a congested network connection). Because in such situations the
// pipe will keep buffering all data written to it, your application could run out of memory and
// crash. If you want to react to flow control signals to prevent that, instead of using this class
// you can implement an object that conforms to GRXWriter.
