* Implementors of this interface allow client code to 'delay' writing to a certain section of a
* data output stream.<br/>
* A typical application is for writing BIFF records when the size is not known until well after
* the header has been written. The client code can call {@link #createDelayedOutput(int)}
* to reserve two bytes of the output for the 'ushort size' header field. The delayed output can
* be written at any stage.
