Hi,

<big_snip />

I don't know much of native plan9 (only using plan9port), but IMHO
an full mmap() is a really nice thing. It can make a lot things
easier if you just map the whole file into the process' memory and
let the kernel handle the actual IO.

Some time ago I hacked up a little XML-based database (just to
show myself that it needn't to be that ugly slow as Xindice ;-)),
and being able to conveniently work with pointers instead of ugly
seek() made really fun ;-P
