inflate

/*
 * call-seq: inflate(string)
 *
 * Inputs +string+ into the inflate stream and returns the output from the
 * stream.  Calling this method, both the input and the output buffer of the
 * stream are flushed.  If string is +nil+, this method finishes the stream,
 * just like Zlib::ZStream#finish.
 *
 * Raises a Zlib::NeedDict exception if a preset dictionary is needed to
 * decompress.  Set the dictionary by Zlib::Inflate#set_dictionary and then
 * call this method again with an empty string.  (<i>???</i>)
 *
 * TODO: document better!
