+/**
+   An optional companion interface to
+   com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream that supports scenarios
+   where com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream::writeBytes()
+   operates asynchronously and does not necessarily report any errors.
+
+   <p>A typical scenario where this interface is useful is when an
+   com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream is used to write to a
+   file via NFS.  Normally, any calls to
+   com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream::writeBytes() will
+   execute asynchronously then, in that any potential errors might only be
+   reported by later calls to
+   com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream::writeBytes() or
+   com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream::closeOutput().  If
+   such an output stream shall not be closed immediately after one or more calls
+   to com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream::writeBytes(), but
+   the client wants to know as soon as possible whether writing was successful,
+   then
+   com::sun::star::io::XAsyncOutputMonitor::waitForCompletion()
+   should be called after the series of calls to
+   com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream::writeBytes().</p>

+
+       <p>Calling this method is potentially expensive (even if the associated
+       com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream represents a local
+       file not accessed via NFS, for example).  This method has a similar
+       description to
+       com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream::flush().
+       However, where the semantics of <code>flush</code> are rather vague,
+       <code>waitForCompletion</code> has very specific semantics&mdash;it just
+       blocks long enough so that any errors encountered during previous calls
+       to com::sun::star::io::XOutputStream::writeBytes()
+       can reliably be reported.  It specifically does not guarantee that any
+       data have safely been stored on a stable physical medium, like a hard
+       disk (and it is completely unspecified whether <code>flush</code> should
+       give this guarantee).</p>
