Well, this problem can be solved using a workaround. I introduced 
in 2.1.x a new value in the result list, only visible by the extended 
info output (option -x): The offset of the document inside the file (one 
file can contain several documents). Now this value is always 0 and 
the size is the total length of the file. But in a future this values can 
be different to delimite a document inside the file (offset + length).

So, reading only the bytes starting at the offset upto the length from 
the file, will give you just the document you need. Unfortunately, this 
cannot be applied to filtered documents (Rainer's Filter option).
