Irrespective of your other objections, I suggest that you should  
design for the occasional possibility that the Length entry in the  
stream dictionary is missing or wrong and the length of the stream  
has to be determined by looking for an EOD marker, hitting the end of  
the file, or even something that looks like a different kind of data.  
Such files are of course invalid, but they nevertheless exist.
