How to return an error with this? Mixing end-of-stream with error is a design 
BUG in the internal API, that I would rather not propagate further.

Also the documentation is lacking, and the proposed API is rather quirky. You 
can't simply return -1 until data becomes available, as it would cause a live 
loop.
