   But note that it is actually more messy than just described   
   for VAR and FIX.

   is more mixed:   
   * VAR and VFC strip length and pad (but VFC does transfer   
      header bytes)   
   * STREAM and STREAM_LF does not strip line terminator   
      
   I knew that STREAM_LF was special, but I had actually   
   expected that STREAM had stripped line terminator as well.   
      
   Due to:
