I've had most of this sitting around on a branch for a while, I just forgot to finish it off and submit it.
The name stream is contained in the PDB information stream. There are a few streams that need to be looked up by name. Confusingly, one of them is named /names. That stream contains source file names, so this will be useful for some future changes I hope to write.
The second changeset here allows access to a raw Stream by index. Combined with the first patch this allows looking up a named stream and getting its contents. I don't love this change, since the Stream + ParseBuffer API is a little awkward if you're not trying to parse out data structures. Maybe it would be nicer to add a wrapper struct that just contained an as_bytes() method to hide all that?
I wanted that API to mimic read functionality of the pdbstr tool, which we use for inserting source server indexing into our PDB files.
