We're slowly moving towards a new release. I keep promising timeframes and
not hitting them, though. :/ Possibly in February?

The prefix is a 32-bit count of segments followed by the 32-bit size of
each segment. As it turns out, any sequence of bits could in theory be a
valid prefix. That said, if expectedSizeInWordsFromPrefix() returns a
number that seems wildly large, then you can probably guess that the prefix
is invalid.
