Now I implemented a simple suggestion in an extra branch [1]. It can be
easily extended by an event that is set each time a chunk is received,
to implement the mechanism described by you.

I just realized that accidentally the 'nts' pull requests is targeted at
the 'nts' branch, and the 'nts_doc' is targeted at 'master'. Should I
reopen them?

Just a note to about publishing the project: From beginning to end of
September I'll be on vacation, so can probably not reply to emails or
only every few days.

Thanks,
Max
