But I?d rather keep the new functions, because I think they are likely to be useful. I have future uses in mind, which might or might not happen. For example, open a CDS archive or large config file, position the fileStream at the base address of some textual configuration data, and start reading.

Hi John, I decided to remove the position/set_position/remaining functions from the PR, as we no longer have test cases that cover them. When they are needed in the future, we can restore them from history and add the necessary tests.
