Shouldn't this be "required" or "necessary"?
And nit: "something, too."

The bitstream reader must be able to index the whole bitstream and the padding
otherwise it would have some issues, actually it possibly does have a bug there
i need to double check this

currently it uses int32, so if the input is bigger the reader will reject this
so just staying within that size should be fine
that is unless iam missing something
