-        // filters as needed. Every call to provideStreamData for a given stream must write the same
-        // data. Note that, when writing linearized files, qpdf will call your provideStreamData
-        // twice, and if it generates different output, you risk generating invalid output or having
-        // qpdf throw an exception. The object ID and generation passed to this method are those
-        // that belong to the stream on behalf of which the provider is called. They may be ignored
-        // or used by the implementation for indexing or other purposes. This information is made
-        // available just to make it more convenient to use a single StreamDataProvider object to
-        // provide data for multiple streams.
-
-        // A few things to keep in mind:
-        //
-        // * Stream data providers must not modify any objects since   they may be called after some
-        //   parts of the file have already been written.
-        //
-        // * Since qpdf may call provideStreamData multiple times when writing linearized files, if
-        //   the work done by your stream data provider is slow or computationally intensive, you
-        //   might want to implement your own cache.
-        //
-        // * Once you have called replaceStreamData, the original stream data is no longer directly
-        //   accessible from the   stream, but this is easy to work around by copying the stream to
-        //   a separate QPDF object. The qpdf library implements this very efficiently without
-        //   actually making a copy of the stream data. You can find examples of this pattern in

-    // The handleToken method is called for each token, including the eof token, and then handleEOF

-    // Please see examples/pdf-filter-tokens.cc and examples/pdf-count-strings.cc for examples of
-    // using TokenFilters.
-    //
-    // Please note that when you call token.getValue() on a token of type tt_string or tt_name, you

-    // are no delimiters, and for a name, it means that all escaping (# followed by two hex digits)

-    // such, you can't write the value of token.getValue() directly to output that is supposed to be

-    // still write them with writeToken(). Example:
-    // writeToken(QPDFTokenizer::Token(QPDFTokenizer::tt_name, "/text/plain"))

-    // In PDF files, objects have specific types, but there is nothing that prevents PDF files from
-    // containing objects of types that aren't expected by the specification.
-    //
-    // There are two flavors of accessor methods:
-    //
-    // * getSomethingValue() returns the value and issues a type   warning if the type is incorrect.
-    //
-    // * getValueAsSomething() returns false if the value is the wrong type. Otherwise, it returns
-    //   true and initializes a reference of the appropriate type. These methods never issue type
-    //   warnings.
-    //
-    // The getSomethingValue() accessors and some of the other methods expect objects of a
-    // particular type. Prior to qpdf 8, calling an accessor on a method of the wrong type, such as
-    // trying to get a dictionary key from an array, trying to get the string value of a number,
-    // etc., would throw an exception, but since qpdf 8, qpdf issues a warning and recovers using
-    // the following behavior:
-    //
-    // * Requesting a value of the wrong type (int value from string,   array item from a scalar or
-    //   dictionary, etc.) will return a zero-like value for that type: false for boolean, 0 for
-    //   number, the empty string for string, or the null object for an object handle.
-    //
-    // * Accessing an array item that is out of bounds will return a null object.
-    //
-    // * Attempts to mutate an object of the wrong type (e.g., attempting to add a dictionary key to
-    //   a scalar or array) will be ignored.
-    //
-    // When any of these fallback behaviors are used, qpdf issues a warning. Starting in qpdf 10.5,
-    // these warnings have the error code qpdf_e_object. Prior to 10.5, they had the error code
-    // qpdf_e_damaged_pdf. If the QPDFObjectHandle is associated with a QPDF object (as is the case
-    // for all objects whose origin was a PDF file), the warning is issued using the normal warning
-    // mechanism (as described in QPDF.hh), making it possible to suppress or otherwise detect them.
-    // If the QPDFObjectHandle is not associated with a QPDF object (meaning it was created
-    // programmatically), an exception will be thrown.
-    //
-    // The way to avoid getting any type warnings or exceptions, even when working with malformed
-    // PDF files, is to always check the type of a QPDFObjectHandle before accessing it (for
-    // example, make sure that isString() returns true before calling getStringValue()) and to
-    // always be sure that any array indices are in bounds.

-enable the ``FUTURE`` build option (see :ref:`build-options`).
 Planned changes for future 12.x (subject to change):

-    This change will be invisible to most developers but may break
