  18  * structured data that needs parsing. However, code may use the
  19  * "parsed" bit in the struct object for a blob to determine whether
  20  * its content has been found to actually be available, so
  21  * parse_blob_buffer() is used (by object.c) to flag that the object
  22  * has been read successfully from the database.
