/**
 * This program will just take all of the stream objects in a PDF and dereference
 * them.  The streams will be gone in the resulting file and the objects will be
 * present.  This is very helpful when trying to debug problems as it'll make
 * it possible to easily look through a PDF using a text editor.  It also exposes
 * problems which stem from objects inside object streams overwriting other
 * objects.
