How does eexec know when to stop?  There is no indication how much data
follows the eexec, so how does it know to stop decrypting/executing the
file object and when to continue executing currentfile?

For example:

currentfile eexec
<lots of hex data>
cleartomark
{restore} if

Does eexec stop at the first non [0-9A-Fa-f] character?

Is there any way a filter can skip over all of the hex data?
