/// to block or do some work to get it. More significantly, the exact size of
/// the object might not be known until it has all been fetched. This means that
/// to return the right result, getExtent must also wait for all the data to
/// arrive; therefore it should not be called on objects which are actually
/// streamed (this would defeat the purpose of streaming). Instead,
/// isValidAddress can be used to test addresses without knowing the exact size
/// of the stream. Finally, getPointer can be used instead of readBytes to avoid
/// extra copying.
