 That's not so easy. We do not detect broken CRCs on load, because we load on 
demand. And removing that seems like a bad trade-off. Finding that a CRC 
stream has a broken CRCs means uncompressing everything and checking, even 
things we otherwise do not care about. I think we do not want to make loading 
of everything possibly slower just to detect that virtually all documents are 
correct.
