 *
 * @li The get area of the streambuf contains the specified delimiter.
 *

 *
 * This operation is implemented in terms of zero or more calls to the stream's

 * @param s The stream from which the data is to be read. The type must support
 * the SyncReadStream concept.
 *
 * @param b A streambuf object into which the data will be read.
 *
 * @param delim The delimiter character.
 *
 * @returns The number of bytes in the streambuf's get area up to and including
 * the delimiter.
 *
 * @throws boost::system::system_error Thrown on failure.
