    // This provides read/write access to a file and must be used with care of
    // the additional subtleties involved in doing so. Though the OS will do
    // the writing of data on its own time, too many dirty pages can cause
    // the OS to pause the thread while it writes them out. The pause can
    // be as much as 1s on some systems.

    // applies a copy-on-write policy such that no writes are carried through to
    // the underlying file.

    // extended to the maximum size though it won't be loaded in RAM until

    // in the process address space.
