isn't this basically a NOP, or the headache that I have got since this

I agree.

Ok, I will remove that line.

I agree.

Of course, now that streamsize is 64 bits, it would take longer than the
remaining lifetime of the universe (or, perhaps, the remaining fossil
fuels) to get there. (That assumes Moore's law will get used up, too.)

:) right...

ok, therefore, instead of unnecessarily complicating that code, I will not
change it, for now: when we'll be able to store data in single atoms, we
can revisit the issue... without changing the ABI! ;) ;)

Let's actually improve the performance of ignore...

Thanks!
Paolo.
