 * This allows you to send a binary blob to a worker and handle
 * its responses. The worker will receive the binary data as an
 * argument to the "special" function (inherited from WorkerBase::special()).
 *
 * Use this only on KIO workers that belong to your application. Sending
 * special commands to other workers may cause unexpected behaviour.
