Comment:

 Yes, the implementation is tricky because when the end of a deflated
 sequence is reached, the symmetric filter will usually have some
 unconsumed characters in the buffer, which need to be fed back through the
 decompressor as part of the next member.

 Now that I've figured out the problem, it shouldn't be too hard to
 implement.
