Here's the '>' again. I think this is something you're using to cite an
external source in the commit message. Is that it?



   == String header extensions ==

   Some header extensions (such as the backing file format name and
   the external data file name) are just a single string. In this case,
   the header extension length is the string length and the string is
   not '\0' terminated. (The header extension padding can make it look
   like a string is '\0' terminated, but neither is padding always
   necessary nor is there a guarantee that zero bytes are used
   for padding.)

So we shouldn't be checking for a \0 byte at the end of the backing
format section. I think in practice there always is a \0 but we
shouldn't depend on that.

I suppose this extra brace is due to the new brace right after label that
you added up there. I'm probably being a purist here, but I'd rather make
an extra indent level in each 'case' statement of this switch just to avoid
this  braces right below each other. We have this style of switch statement in
the code, so I think it would be ok.

That's my personal inclination as well, but a 'git grep -A1 "switch ("' shows that the vast majority of switch statements don't indent the case. The weirdness with the bracket here is just a side effect of that.

I swapped the case blocks around so at least the brackets are on adjacent lines :)

Thanks,
Cole
