If we never have to worry about the right behavior for a max op on
special "no max size" Size value it becomes a lot easier to design,
I would think.

I was thinking about higher level things before, but the code above
would have been easier for me to read if it has been:

return min(self.format.maxSize, maxPartSize) if self.format.maxSize != 0 else maxPartSize

or something like that.
