        <pre>Right now the logic is somewhat like

if (shouldUseMmap(...))
  useMmap;
else
  read loop

We could probably do

mmap the file
if (shouldUseMmap)
  return a MemoryBuffer using the mmap.
else
   memcopy and unmap the mapped file

This would have the advantage of avoiding the read loop and would also allow us
to pass the buffer to shoulduseMmmap which could then check if the last byte is
0 or not. That would let us gracefully fall back to copying the buffer on
broken file systems.</pre>
