 #### Usage example:
 
 Chunk4J aims to handle most details of the `Chunk` behind the scenes of the `Chopper` and `Stitcher` API. For the API
-client, it suffices to know that `Chunk` is a simple POJO data holder; serializable, it carries the data bytes
-travelling from the `Chopper` to the `Stitcher`. To transport Chunks over the network, the API client simply needs to
-pack the Chunk into a transport-specific message on the Chopper's end, and unpack the message back to a Chunk on the
-Stitcher's end, using the POJO marshal-unmarshal technique applicable to the transport.
