Settled on the new average-of-length approach to a PLL window sizing, eliminating the old errors-of-phase approach. Since it anchors automatically to the original target clocks per bit, killed the explicit mention of a tolerance.

Another fix to deal with real-time fighting: allow 8 and 18 pulses to be recognised as 1s and 0s. That's because the hand-off from ROM routines to parsing may occur very shortly before the first pulse of a valid sequence, making it look like there's a ghost. A cleaner solution needs to be found, probably revolving around allowing parsers to be attached to tapes and therefore to run constantly.

Workaround for a weird bug that suddenly appears to manifest: gzgetc is returning the file name, not bytes from the file. Seems to be related to improper initialisation of the next field within the gzFile header. I can't immediately see where ZLib intends to do that so it's a bit mysterious. But the larger-than-8 readers could probably save time by reading in blocks anyway.
