+/**
+ * Service for sending an HTML response in chunks (to get faster page loads).
+ *
+ * At a high level, BigPipe sends a HTML response in chunks:
+ * 1. one chunk: everything until just before </body> — this contains BigPipe
+ *    placeholders for the personalized parts of the page. Hence this sends the
+ *    non-personalized parts of the page. Let's call it The Skeleton.
+ * 2. N chunks: a <script> tag per BigPipe placeholder in The Skeleton.
+ * 3. one chunk: </body> and everything after it.
+ *
+ * This is conceptually identical to Facebook's BigPipe (hence the name).
+ *
+ * @see https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-engineering/bigpipe-pipelining-web-pages-for-high-performance/389414033919
+ *
+ * The major way in which Drupal differs from Facebook's implementation (and
+ * others) is in its ability to automatically figure out which parts of the page
+ * can benefit from BigPipe-style delivery. Drupal's render system has the
+ * concept of "auto-placeholdering": content that is too dynamic is replaced
+ * with a placeholder that can then be rendered at a later time. On top of that,
+ * it also has the concept of "placeholder strategies": by default, placeholders
+ * are replaced on the server side and the response is blocked on all of them
+ * being replaced. But it's possible to add additional placeholder strategies.
+ * BigPipe is just another placeholder strategy. Others could be ESI, AJAX …
+ *
+ * @see https://www.drupal.org/developing/api/8/render/arrays/cacheability/auto-placeholdering
+ * @see \Drupal\Core\Render\PlaceholderGeneratorInterface::shouldAutomaticallyPlaceholder()
+ * @see \Drupal\Core\Render\Placeholder\PlaceholderStrategyInterface
+ * @see \Drupal\Core\Render\Placeholder\SingleFlushStrategy
+ * @see \Drupal\big_pipe\Render\Placeholder\BigPipeStrategy
+ *
+ * There is also one noteworthy technical addition that Drupal makes. BigPipe as
+ * described above, and as implemented by Facebook, can only work if JavaScript
+ * is enabled. The BigPipe module also makes it possible to replace placeholders
+ * using BigPipe in-situ, without JavaScript. This is not technically BigPipe at
+ * all; it's just the use of multiple flushes. Since it is able to reuse much of
+ * the logic though, we choose to call this "no-JS BigPipe".
+ *
+ * However, there is also a tangible benefit: some dynamic/expensive content is
+ * not HTML, but for example a HTML attribute value (or part thereof). It's not
+ * possible to efficiently replace such content using JavaScript, so "classic"
+ * BigPipe is out of the question. For example: CSRF tokens in URLs.
+ *
+ * This allows us to use both no-JS BigPipe and "classic" BigPipe in the same
+ * response to maximize the amount of content we can send as early as possible.
+ *
+ * Finally, a closer look at the implementation, and how it supports and reuses
+ * existing Drupal concepts:
+ * 1. BigPipe placeholders: 1 HtmlResponse + N embedded AjaxResponses.
+ *   - Before a BigPipe response is sent, it is just a HTML response that
+ *     contains BigPipe placeholders. Those placeholders look like
+ *     <span data-big-pipe-placeholder-id="…"></span>. JavaScript is used to
+ *     replace those placeholders.
+ *     Therefore these placeholders are actually sent to the client.
+ *   - The Skeleton of course has attachments, including most notably asset
+ *     libraries. And those we track in drupalSettings.ajaxPageState.libraries —
+ *     so that when we load new content through AJAX, we don't load the same
+ *     asset libraries again. A HTML page can have multiple AJAX responses, each
+ *     of which should take into account the combined AJAX page state of the
+ *     HTML document and all preceding AJAX responses.
+ *   - BigPipe does not make use of multiple AJAX requests/responses. It uses a
+ *     single HTML response. But it is a more long-lived one: The Skeleton is
+ *     sent first, the closing </body> tag is not yet sent, and the connection
+ *     is kept open. Whenever another BigPipe Placeholder is rendered, Drupal
+ *     sends (and so actually appends to the already-sent HTML) something like
+ *     <script type="application/vnd.drupal-ajax">[{"command":"settings","settings":{…}}, {"command":…}.
+ *   - So, for every BigPipe placeholder, we send such a <script
+ *     type="application/vnd.drupal-ajax"> tag. And the contents of that tag is
+ *     exactly like an AJAX response. The BigPipe module has JavaScript that
+ *     listens for these and applies them. Let's call it an Embedded AJAX
+ *     Response (since it is embedded in the HTML response). Now for the
+ *     interesting bit: each of those Embedded AJAX Responses must also take
+ *     into account the cumulative AJAX page state of the HTML document and all
+ *     preceding Embedded AJAX responses.
+ * 2. No-JS BigPipe placeholders: 1 HtmlResponse + N embedded HtmlResponses.
+ *   - Before a BigPipe response is sent, it is just a HTML response that
+ *     contains no-JS BigPipe placeholders. Those placeholders can take two
+ *     different forms:
+ *     1. <span data-big-pipe-nojs-placeholder-id="…"></span> if it's a
+ *        placeholder that will be replaced by HTML
+ *     2. big_pipe_nojs_placeholder_attribute_safe:… if it's a placeholder
+ *        inside a HTML attribute, in which 1. would be invalid (angle brackets
+ *        are not allowed inside HTML attributes)
+ *     No-JS BigPipe placeholders are not replaced using JavaScript, they must
+ *     be replaced upon sending the BigPipe response. So, while the response is
+ *     being sent, upon encountering these placeholders, their corresponding
+ *     placeholder replacements are sent instead.
+ *     Therefore these placeholders are never actually sent to the client.
+ *   - See second bullet of point 1.
+ *   - No-JS BigPipe does not use multiple AJAX requests/responses. It uses a
+ *     single HTML response. But it is a more long-lived one: The Skeleton is
+ *     split into multiple parts, the separators are where the no-JS BigPipe
+ *     placeholders used to be. Whenever another no-JS BigPipe placeholder is
+ *     rendered, Drupal sends (and so actually appends to the already-sent HTML)
+ *     something like
+ *     <link rel="stylesheet" …><script …><content>.
+ *   - So, for every no-JS BigPipe placeholder, we send its associated CSS and
+ *     header JS that has not already been sent (the bottom JS is not yet sent,
+ *     so we can accumulate all of it and send it together at the end). This
+ *     ensures that the markup is rendered as it was originally intended: its
+ *     CSS and JS used to be blocking, and it still is. Let's call it an
+ *     Embedded HTML response. Each of those Embedded HTML Responses must also
+ *     take into account the cumulative AJAX page state of the HTML document and
+ *     all preceding Embedded HTML responses.
+ *   - Finally: any non-critical JavaScript associated with all Embedded HTML
+ *     Responses, i.e. any footer/bottom/non-header JavaScript, is loaded after
+ *     The Skeleton.
+ *
+ * Combining all of the above, when using both BigPipe placeholders and no-JS
+ * BigPipe placeholders, we therefore send: 1 HtmlResponse + M Embedded HTML
+ * Responses + N Embedded AJAX Responses. Schematically, we send these chunks:
+ *  1. Byte zero until 1st no-JS placeholder: headers + <html><head /><span>…</span>
+ *  2. 1st no-JS placeholder replacement: <link rel="stylesheet" …><script …><content>
+ *  3. Content until 2nd no-JS placeholder: <span>…</span>
+ *  4. 2nd no-JS placeholder replacement: <link rel="stylesheet" …><script …><content>
+ *  5. Content until 3rd no-JS placeholder: <span>…</span>
+ *  6. [… repeat until all no-JS placeholder replacements are sent …]
+ *  7. Send content after last no-JS placeholder.
+ *  8. Send script_bottom (markup to load bottom i.e. non-critical JS).
+ *  9. 1st placeholder replacement: <script type="application/vnd.drupal-ajax">[{"command":"settings","settings":{…}}, {"command":…}
+ * 10. 2nd placeholder replacement: <script type="application/vnd.drupal-ajax">[{"command":"settings","settings":{…}}, {"command":…}
+ * 11. [… repeat until all placeholder replacements are sent …]
+ * 12. Send </body> and everything after it.
+ * 13. Terminate request/response cycle.
