<h2>HexEditChunks</h2>
<p>
    Class implementing the storage backend for the hex editor.
</p>
<p>
    When HexEditWidget loads data, HexEditChunks access them using a QIODevice
    interface. When the app uses a QByteArray or Python bytearray interface,
    QBuffer is used to provide again a QIODevice like interface. No data will
    be changed, therefore HexEditChunks opens the QIODevice in
    QIODevice.OpenModeFlag.ReadOnly mode. After every access HexEditChunks
    closes the QIODevice. That's why external applications can overwrite
    files while HexEditWidget shows them.
</p>
<p>
    When the the user starts to edit the data, HexEditChunks creates a local
    copy of a chunk of data (4 kilobytes) and notes all changes there. Parallel
    to that chunk, there is a second chunk, which keeps track of which bytes
    are changed and which are not.

        there is one, it returns its index. If there is no copied chunk
        available, original data will be copied into a new chunk.
