Can you explain how it prevents most input files from using mmap? I would expect that for most input files either the file is binary (in which case `RequiresNullTerminator` should be false), or there is a null terminator produced by mmap (in which case you get to use mmap), or you're hitting an OS bug like the Linux one.
