I don't think "truncate" describes this operation very well. It is more like "punch hole and shrink size". 

The real question I have for both this operation is what practical use it has. I don't think that "editing a movie clip" is a real example, because the stream will not align on block boundaries, and will just result in copying most of the file data if it is a byte-aligned operation.

Cheers, Andreas
