Something like InputStream.available() would be useful, but even that one returns "an *estimate* of the number of bytes that can be read" - so it's not "good enough". 

Ah yes, what I meant was the field is unset.  E.g., contains a 0 or a -1 as a tx id which assumes either no tx in progress or a client that doesn't support txs.

So I presume this was to optimise away the extra, unset field?  How big is this field anyway?
