I don't think sequentiality is a requirement in the case i am working on.
However, let me peek at the code first. I am guessing it is some form of a
near-perfect hash, in which case it may not be possible to read it in parts
at all. Which would be bad, indeed. I would need to find a completely
alternative input format then to overcome my case.
