I think its nifty to be able to read a raw stream via less but I don't
think its essential.

I'd rather have something you're happy with that you need an interpreter
to use (rather than debug visually) than the converse.

I will ask that we keep the parser for the current chunked attachments
around for a couple of releases, to ease transitions.
