I don't think so.  The CTE is decoded before saving/piping, but other
than that, you deal with the untampered-with contents.  Which seems
logical to me -- when saving a GIF, one doesn't want it fiddled with
before saving, for instance.

Yes.  The variable situation in this area is rather confusing.  I'll
try going over it and rename/add/remove variables to create a more
sensible variable set.
