- between pages and split pages. That should be refactored. Perhaps
- some kind of general method should be added to
- QPDFPageDocumentHelper for copying a page from one file to another

- how to make it efficient for bulk operations. Probably making it
- work from qpdf.cc will be sufficient. I also need to think about how
- to selectively turn on or off specific document-level features,
- perhaps using flags or something.
