I did some more work on the docs and comments, and pushed that.

Returning to my upthread thought that

here's a quick follow-on patch to make that happen.  It could
probably do with a test case to demonstrate the error, but
I didn't bother yet pending approval that we want to do this.
(This passes check-world as it stands, indicating we have no
existing test that expects this case to work.)

Also, I used the same error message "end-of-copy marker corrupt"
that we have for the case of junk following the marker, but
I can't say that I think much of that phrasing.  What do people
think of "end-of-copy marker is not alone on its line", instead?
