Actually I do that just to allow future patches which can wait this data too
and do smth else with it. Of cause in current situation this index
parser can return success or failure and this result can be be used as
indicator to reset stream back to initial position, but as I said I
prefer to make changes which affect existing behavior as less as
possible.
So should I change it and reset stream to initial state only in case
of failure (unexpected index structure etc.)?
