 * \brief Convert a stream of packed bytes or shorts to stream of unpacked bytes or shorts.
 * \ingroup converter_blk
 *
 * input: stream of unsigned char; output: stream of unsigned char
 *
 * This is the inverse of gr_unpacked_to_packed_XX.
 *
 * The bits in the bytes or shorts input stream are grouped into chunks of 
 * \p bits_per_chunk bits and each resulting chunk is written right-
 * justified to the output stream of bytes or shorts.  
 * All b or 16 bits of the each input bytes or short are processed.  
 * The right thing is done if bits_per_chunk is not a power of two.
 *
 * The combination of gr_packed_to_unpacked_XX_ followed by
 * gr_chunks_to_symbols_Xf or gr_chunks_to_symbols_Xc handles the
 * general case of mapping from a stream of bytes or shorts into 
 * arbitrary float or complex symbols.
