Whereas a TNEF file only records one object, GXMT can record many, folders
9+
included. GXMT is streamable; there are no forward references, so the stream
10+
need not be buffered by a reader to resolve refs. Backreferences are typically
11+
named properties and folders that were created as part of processing earlier
12+
parts of a stream. Out of convenience of implementation, the mt2exm program
13+
buffers one entire object at a time before acting on it.
