Question

Currently, the section length field in the section header block is always filled with the actual size of the section. Pcapng supports leaving this field unspecified, i.e. a value of -1 (Section 4.1). This is currently useful for an application I am working on and I would like to open a PR for it. Would you be open to this change?
