:mrdocs:

If required, throw a `TestInStreamException` (see `throwExceptionIfInputLimitExhausted`); otherwise, consume the 8‐bit unsigned integer type code, verify the type of the next value in this stream, consume that 16‐bit signed integer array value into the specified `variables` of the specified `numVariables` if its type and length are appropriate, update the cursor location, and return a reference to this stream. If the type is incorrect, then this stream is marked invalid and the value of `variables` is unchanged. If this stream is initially invalid, this operation has no effect. If this function otherwise fails to extract a valid value, this stream is marked invalid and the value of `variables` is undefined. The behavior is undefined unless `0 <= numVariables` and `variables` has sufficient capacity.
