I was going to use method 1, but I started wondering if anyone should

I think that comment is a bit misleading.
Does
'discarded' mean the data are no longer accessbile, ever ever
ever?
Only if the the reader is a destructive one (created with
casefile_get_destructive_reader)
Is method 2 an abomination?
As I understand it, method 2 is perfectly correct and preferable to
method 1 (you don't have to store a possibly huge number of data).
Maybe Ben can confirm this.
