Of course by the time I sent the above you already rewrote the ting to 
be streamable.

And by the time you sent me a new version, I'd already taken part of your 
old one by hand ;)

Btw, I have the size/type bits reversed from your setup, but please don't 
change that, since that would be yet another incompatible pack format 
change, and I'd like to calm things down.

Also, I notice that you decode the sizes really strangely: you have a 
"while() { }" loop and two separate loads. It's much nicer to do it with a 
"do { } while()" loop and a single load, since not only is it less code, 
a do-while loop compiles to better code than a while() loop (unless the 
compiler is crazy, which it sometimes is).
