It isn't really "hiding" the EOF, it's simply moving it to where the file is
actually EOF.

Previously it would be:
  * 512 byte block
  * ...
  * 512 byte block
  * short block (claims to be EOF)

Whatever reads it from the outside said "oh, EOF... so discard the entire
block."

Now it's:
  * 512 byte block
  * ...
  * 512 byte block
  * short block
  * EOF

I'm not really sure what's wrong with representing it how it really is.  But if
you want to pad the file, go ahead... not padding it doesn't seem to have any
drawback either since if it's a short block then the document entry for it
won't result in reading past the end of the data which is actually there.
