Comment (by santosj):

 The algorithm needs to be revisited. I had worried that performance might
 actually be affected. Also, it appears memory will also be an issue, if
 the required fields are not found then it will just continue until the
 file is completely loaded or the fields are found.

 These are not what the solution called for. I'm unaware how to handle it
 so that if comments aren't found in the plugin to just back out and fail
 to continue reading the file.

 It could be faster if the code was combined into a single function, there
 is some overhead in creating the stack, which is not required. That might
 shave off 1 or 2 ms.

 Need some way to halt reading certain files that either don't have
 comments or don't have plugin data. It also needs to make sure that all of
 the plugin data is pulled in.
