:)  But note the latter part of the sentence: "this method should only
be used if the file is guaranteed to exist _for the duration of the data
object’s existence_."  So if I create an NSData with
dataWithContentsOfMappedFile and then the user deletes the backing file,
then what?  I just tried in a little test app: open(),
dataWithContentsOfMappedFile, breakpoint, rm file, access the NSData. 
Seems to work.
