Error detection is in my scope of work, however correction is not.  That  
is to say that I need to know when a transmission error has occurred  
(common over slow radio links in a factory) but do not need to do anything  
fancy to reconstruct the missing data, rather just request a re-transmit.

I've poured through the iostreams library quite a bit, and I love the  
concept of buffered sources and sinks.  I haven't quite figured out how to  
tie iostreams into asio yet, but I'm working on it.  ;)
