// which has an inconvenient interface for callers. This is currently designed
// for use in tests only (where we control the files), so the handling isn't as
// robust as would be required for a browser (see Decode() for more).  WebKit
// has its own more complicated PNG decoder which handles, among other things,
// partially downloaded data.
