OK, my thought is either:
- Come up with a name for a flag, or flags, for the other cases (to
check in the function, i.e. PACKET_READ_GENTLE_INVALID), and still
pass in PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ALL, which is all those bits on plus
*_GENTLE_ON_EOF.
- Come up with a better name for this single flag, like
PACKET_READ_DONT_DIE ... only better.
What would you suggest here?
