Thanks a lot for review!

I think it's better to leave it: maybe we use it future. It also makes
upgrade to new API easier for callers.

Yes, we resize buffer to final_size * 2 if final_size == LEN_HINT + 1.
But I'm not sure that it could be fixed: we need to read more data
from source stream until we got partial read. And we always increase
read size by two after every read.
