  Either way is OK with me, but I'm not convinced that the fix will be that
simple. What happens if the data is sent slowly (e.g. 1 byte per second)? I
would expect to get an event for each byte.

  I think that this is a practical use case, as progress of a lengthy operation
can be reported in this way.
