Hmph, when I outlined that change to object-info-extended, I meant
to do it in such a way that when the optional oi->typename is set,
it is always filled whether "literally" is asked for andr whether
the object is a kosher one or a bogus one.
Without parsing the header, we wouldn't know how long the object
would be, so I do not know if not doing some variant of parse_header
is an option.
Thanks.
