Now that the chunk-format API has a consistent mechanism for writing
file formats based on chunks, let's extend it to also parse chunk-based
files during read.

Heads-up.  The generation-data work by Abhishek would conflict with
the way how this refactors the way the beginning offset of each
chunk is found.

Right! I should have checked against 'seen'. Abhishek's work should
take precedence and I can adapt on top of his topic. For now, feel
free to keep this topic out of 'seen' while we address the worth
of the topic (re: René's concerns).

Sure.  We may want to do [PATCH 11/15] even if the "worth of the
topic" discussion ends up negative, though.

Thanks.
