If unpack_one : ('value, 'partial_unpack) unpack_one, then unpack_one buf ?pos
?len ?partial_unpack must unpack at most one value of type 'value from buf
starting at pos, and not using more than len characters. unpack_one must
returns one the following:
`Ok (value, n) -- unpacking succeeded and consumed n bytes, where 0 <= n <=
len. It is possible to have n = 0, e.g. for sexp unpacking, which can only tell
it has reached the end of an atom when it encounters the following punctuation
character, which if it is left paren, is the start of the following sexp.
`Not_enough_data (p, n) -- unpacking encountered a valid proper prefix of a
packed value, and consumed n bytes, where 0 <= n <= len. p is a "partial
unpack" that can be supplied to a future call to unpack_one to continue unpacking.
`Invalid_data -- unpacking encountered an invalidly packed value.
A naive unpack_one that only succeeds on a fully packed value could lead to
quadratic behavior if a packed value's bytes are input using a linear number of
calls to feed.

create_bin_prot reader returns an unpacker that reads the "size-prefixed" bin_prot
encoding, in which a value is encoded by first writing the length of the bin_prot
data as a 64-bit int, and then writing the data itself. This encoding makes it
trivial to know if enough data is available in the buffer, so there is no need to
represent partially unpacked values, and hence 'partial_unpack = unit.

Beware that when unpacking sexps, one cannot tell if one is at the end of an atom
until one hits punctuation. So, one should always feed a space (" ") to a sexp
unpack buffer after feeding a batch of complete sexps, to ensure that the final sexp
is unpacked.
