Good advice in general, but not relevant in this case. The
discussion of the example in the book says of incremental_send
"which is simply a stub, but it can place those blocks currently
encrypted on the network". It's just a place-holder in the example,
indicating 'this is where you do something with the data you've
encrypted'. It's up to the developer to provide the functionality.
