It would be nice to have these two functions for facilitating manipulation of large EDF files:

EDF.open(path::AbstractString, mode::AbstractString)::EDF.File: Opens the EDF file at path in the given mode, parses the header info etc. but does NOT load in the actual signal data.
EDF.load!(file::EDF.File, label::AbstractString): Loads the signal data specified by label into the relevant signal's samples field in file.

We have a better API than request 1 at this point IMO, and request 2 doesn't make much sense given that individual signals are not generally bytewise self-contiguous
