So does that mean "we can still do transparent access, but it won't work with 
some valid gzipped files", or does it mean "we can still do transparent access 
on all valid gzipped files as long as the code is careful", or does it mean "we 
can still do transparent access on all valid gzipped files, but it won't be as 
efficient as it would be with inflatePrime()"?

Given that the random-access-to-gzipped-files code is compiled in regardless of 
whether we have inflatePrime(), presumably it doesn't mean the first of those.
