y_bin - Binary file storage.

/*

Binary file format:

4 bytes - Number of chunks in the file.

Chunk header:



These are not garbage collected, and memory is allocated for a huge number.
Actually, I'm not sure of the best way to do this well...  The original idea was
to just have fixed blocks, I don't know if that is still the best method.
Actually, maybe the best method is separate files created and destroyed as
required, that would be a LOT less coding!

 * <param name="start">Start position of the possibly current key.</param>
 * <param name="end">End position of the found key.</param>
 * <remarks>
 *  The INI system uses basic string functions to find candidate keys.  They
 *  always start searching from the known start of the current tag, and check
 *  that the found key is before the start of the next known tag.  If both those
 *  conditions are true, this function is called to further verify the found
 *  text - it could be a substring in a larger key, it could be a value, or it
 *  could be commented out.  This function therefore checks that the found
 *  position in the stored string is the first item on a line, and is followed
 *  only by either nothing or an equals sign.
 *
 *  If this IS the key we are searching for, then we return a later position
 *  corresponding to the start of the value (or cellmax if there is no value).
 *  If this isn't a valid key, we return -1.
 * </remarks>
