*
* Blocks have a set of input streams and output streams. The
* input_signature and output_signature define the number of input
* streams and output streams respectively, and the type of the data
* items in each stream.
*
* Although blocks may consume data on each input stream at a
* different rate, all outputs streams must produce data at the same
* rate. That rate may be different from any of the input rates.
*
* User derived blocks override two methods, forecast and general_work,
* to implement their signal processing behavior. forecast is called
* by the system scheduler to determine how many items are required on
* each input stream in order to produce a given number of output
* items.
*
* general_work is called to perform the signal processing in the block.
* It reads the input items and writes the output items.
