Replace parse_blob() with an explanatory comment
parse_blob() has never actually been used; it has served simply to avoid having a confusing gap in the API. Instead of leaving it, put in a comment that explains what "parsing a blob" entails (making sure the object is actually readable), and why code might care whether a blob has been parsed or not.
