  == String header extensions ==

  Some header extensions (such as the backing file format name and
  the external data file name) are just a single string. In this case,
  the header extension length is the string length and the string is
  not '\0' terminated. (The header extension padding can make it look
  like a string is '\0' terminated, but neither is padding always
  necessary nor is there a guarantee that zero bytes are used
  for padding.)

So we shouldn't be checking for a \0 byte at the end of the backing
format section. I think in practice there always is a \0 but we
shouldn't depend on that.

Here's the '>' again. I think this is something you're using to cite an
external source in the commit message. Is that it?

I suppose this extra brace is due to the new brace right after label that
you added up there. I'm probably being a purist here, but I'd rather make
an extra indent level in each 'case' statement of this switch just to avoid
this  braces right below each other. We have this style of switch 
statement in
the code, so I think it would be ok.

Pre-existing, but there's missing 'break;' here. Since you're touching 
these lines, might be worth putting it here.

That's my personal inclination as well, but a 'git grep -A1 "switch ("' 
shows that the vast majority of switch statements don't indent the case. 
The weirdness with the bracket here is just a side effect of that.

I swapped the case blocks around so at least the brackets are on 
adjacent lines :)

Thanks,
Cole

No, that is the way email "protects" lines that begin with "From". You
rarely see it nowadays because the mail itself is encoded, but if you
use plain text and send in ASCII, this will happen.

See page 78 of "The Unix Haters Handbook" [1] for details
