/**
 * Accepts an array of bytes as input. Checks to see if the first characters in
 * the trimmed input make up a PDF Dictionary.
 *
 * If so, returns a tuple containing (1) an object representing the parsed
 * PDFDictionary and (2) a subarray of the input with the characters making up
 * the parsed dictionary removed. The "onParseDict" parse handler will also be
 * called with the PDFDictionary object.
 *
 * If not, null is returned.
 *
 * Note that the entries of the PDF Dictionary are recursively parsed, so the
 * appropriate parse handlers will be called when each entry of the dictionary
 * is parsed. The returned PDFDictionary's keys will be PDFName objects, and its
 * values will be PDFObjects.
