One problem with the seek() approach is that some file-like objects have expensive seeks. One example is GzipFile, where seek(n) is O(n) (it first rewinds to the start of file, then reads n decompressed bytes). In the end, unpickling from a GzipFile becomes O(n**2). I will try to use peek() instead.
