Oh, I looked at it the other way: we don't want to document it in
the case it changes without us noticing :)
I should have remembered the cat in the box ...

Which reminds me of a problem Annie is having, being that pack_fclose_chunk
does not return anything hinting of an error, though there might be some
error writing the temporary file back into the PACKFILE.
She has an upcoming patch fixing a security problem with temp files used
for chunks, and she ran into that ... Trouble with returning NULL being
that code actually relies on it returning the parent file.
Anyone thought about this already ?
