That won't work as the read-ahead cache would load data (= steal data)
from tu_file which instead should be read by these special tag
loaders.

I fear we won't be able to implement any kind of caching mechanism
unless *everything* uses "stream" to load data or bit-reading is
implemented in tu_file itself. The latter case is the worst thing I
can imagine.

Uh-oh..
