/**
 * 
 * A RingBuffer that can be used to scan byte sequences for subsequences.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * This class implements an efficient naive search algorithm, which allows the user of the library to identify byte sequences in a stream on-the-fly so that the stream can be segmented without having
 * to buffer the data.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The intended usage paradigm is:
 * 
 * 
 * final byte[] searchSequence = ...;
 * final CircularBuffer buffer = new CircularBuffer(searchSequence);
 * while ((int nextByte = in.read()) > 0) {
 *      if ( buffer.addAndCompare(nextByte) ) {
 *          // This byte is the last byte in the given sequence
 *      } else {
 *          // This byte does not complete the given sequence
 *      }
 * }
 *
