-    wxCountingOutputStream is a specialized output stream which does not write any
-    data anywhere, instead it counts how many bytes would get written if this were a
-    normal stream. This can sometimes be useful or required if some data gets
-    serialized to a stream or compressed by using stream compression and thus the
-    final size of the stream cannot be known other than pretending to write the stream.
-    One case where the resulting size would have to be known is if the data has
-    to be written to a piece of memory and the memory has to be allocated before
-    writing to it (which is probably always the case when writing to a memory stream).
