Single page on many systems, which makes using mmap() for it even funnier.

Not to mention inefficient in memory use. I would have expected a mention of interning; using string-views is fine, but making it a view of 4kB cache pages is not really.

Though I believe the “naive” streaming read could very well be superior here.
