// TODO: Is that really faster if we're already owning a handle to the file?
// Although fseek/ftell would allow us to reuse the exising file handle here,
// it is generally unsafe because:
// - For binary streams, it is not technically well-defined
// - For text files the results are meaningless
// That's why we use the safer variant fstat here.
