/** Interface class for a Storage Service Class User (SCU).
 *  This class supports C-STORE messages as an SCU.  In a first step, the SOP instances to be
 *  sent are added to a transfer list.  In a second step, the association negotiation takes
 *  place where the required presentation contexts are proposed, i.e. it is checked which SOP
 *  classes and transfer syntaxes are needed for transferring the SOP instances.  Finally, the
 *  SOP instances are sent to the SCP (if possible).
 *  \note
 *    \li The current implementation does not sort the transfer list according to the SOP
 *        Class UID and Transfer Syntax UID of the SOP instances and, therefore, might propose
 *        more presentation contexts than required for the transfer of all SOP instances.  A
 *        simple optimization that is performed internally is to check whether the current SOP
 *        instance can be sent using a presentation context that has previously been added for
 *        another SOP instance (of the same kind).  This approach also makes sure that studies
 *        and series are not mixed up, assuming that they have been added to the transfer list
 *        in the "correct" order.
 *    \li Another limitation of the current implementation is the handling of the "Default
 *        Transfer Syntax" in case of compression.  According to the DICOM standard, the
 *        default transfer syntax for "Lossless JPEG Compression", "Lossy JPEG Compression"
 *        and so on has to be proposed in at least one presentation context for the particular
 *        SOP class.  This is not (yet) implemented since the re-encoding of compressed
 *        datasets is not supported.  Nevertheless, depending on the options used, the default
 *        transfer syntax for the uncompressed case is always proposed (if possible).
