/// \brief A converter from a stream of RRs to a stream of collated RRsets
///
/// This class is mainly intended to be a helper used as an adapter for
/// user applications of the \c MasterLoader class; it works as a callback
/// for \c MasterLoader, buffers given RRs from the loader, collating
/// consecutive RRs that belong to the same RRset (ones having the same
/// owner name, RR type and class), and produces a stream of RRsets through
/// its own callback.  RRSIGs are also separated if their type covered fields
/// have different values even if the owner name and RR class are the same.
///
/// It also "normalizes" TTLs of the RR; if collated RRs have different TTLs,
/// this class guarantees that the TTL of the resulting RRsets has the
/// smallest TTL among them.
///
/// The conversion will be useful for applications of \c MasterLoader because
/// many of this library have interfaces that take an RRset object (or
/// a pointer to it).  Note, however, that this class doesn't guarantee that
/// all RRs that would belong to the same RRset are collated into the same
/// single RRset.  In fact, it can only collate RRs that are consecutive
/// in the original stream; once it encounters an RR of a different RRset,
/// any subsequent RRs of the previous RRset will form a separate RRset object.
///
/// This class is non-copyable; it's partially for the convenience of internal
/// implementation details, but it actually doesn't make sense to copy
/// an object of this class, if not harmful, for the intended usage of
/// the class.

    /// rare case where propagating an exception from a destructor is
    /// justified).  Instead, the application needs to make sure that

    /// RRset (see also the destructor's description).
    ///
    /// If there is no buffered RRset, this method does nothing.  It can happen
    /// if it's called without receiving any RRs, or called more than once.

    /// that works as an adapter between \c MasterLoader and an application
    /// that needs to get a stream of RRsets.  When the returned callback
    /// is called, this \c RRCollator object accepts the corresponding RR,
    /// and collates it with other RRs of the same RRset if necessary.
    /// Every time the \c RRCollator object encounters an RR of a different
    /// RRset, it calls the callback passed to the constructor with the RRset
    /// built so far.
    ///
    /// Like \c flush(), this \c AddRRCallback functor propagates any exception
    /// thrown from the callback.
    ///
    /// This method is expected to be called only once for a given
    /// \c RRCollator object.  It doesn't prohibit duplicate calls, but
    /// returned functor objects internally refer to the same \c RRCollator
    /// object, and calling the both callbacks randomly will just cause
    /// confusion.
