Or perhaps the user-visible object doesn't need to be the same PdfFile
that is used internally (which I think should be file-like, since when
we add better image compression, we will want to pass the PdfFile to the
png/jpeg/whatever library to write to). Something like
class PdfFileProxy:
def __init__(self, filename):
self.pdf_file = PdfFile(filename)
except the name should be better.
