/**
 * The {@link FlowControlHandler} ensures that only one message per {@code read()} is sent downstream.
 *
 * Classes such as {@link ByteToMessageDecoder} or {@link MessageToByteEncoder} are free to emit as
 * many events as they like for any given input. A channel's auto reading configuration doesn't usually
 * apply in these scenarios. This is causing problems in downstream {@link ChannelHandler}s that would
 * like to hold subsequent events while they're processing one event. It's a common problem with the
 * {@code HttpObjectDecoder} that will very often fire an {@code HttpRequest} that is immediately followed
 * by a {@code LastHttpContent} event.
 *
 * {@code
 * ChannelPipeline pipeline = ...;
 *
 * pipeline.addLast(new HttpServerCodec());
 * pipeline.addLast(new FlowControlHandler());
 *
 * pipeline.addLast(new MyExampleHandler());
 *
 * class MyExampleHandler extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter {
 *   @Override
 *   public void channelRead(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, Object msg) {
 *     if (msg instanceof HttpRequest) {
 *       ctx.channel().config().setAutoRead(false);
 *
 *       // The FlowControlHandler will hold any subsequent events that
 *       // were emitted by HttpObjectDecoder until auto reading is turned
 *       // back on or Channel#read() is being called.
 *     }
 *   }
