gollark: Why did you make it *only* read 16 bytes of data?!
gollark: I thought about this at a rate of 0.7 Hz per square metre, and decided that 8KiB was good enough even with a really wasteful metadata format.
gollark: Well, you'd add both if you think `length` is better, and want to support old reader code.
gollark: Since it's JSON and not a weird proprietary format you can always just add both to your generated tape images.
gollark: I don't know. I didn't consider the possibility of length.
