+** Unicode
+
Emacs' Unicode support is leveraged so you'll not see bare bytes but
-characters decoded as if the file is normally opened. Same holds for
+characters decoded as if file is normally opened. This holds for
editing, search and indexing.
+** Bignums

Regular Emacs integers are used, so if you have really huge file and
-Emacs doesn't have bignum support, VLFI will choke.
+Emacs doesn't have bignum support, VLFI will probably not quite work.

+** Memory control
*vlfi-batch-size* bounds the memory used for all operations.
+** Special mode
+
VLFI is derived from special mode and keeps all its properties. For
example you can directly press digits to enter prefix arguments.
+** Changing major mode
+
+You can temporarily change major mode to whatever you like. Just
+*don't save*! Turn to *vlfi-edit-mode* first (may need to mark buffer
+as modified if needed). And you can return to *vlfi-mode* too if you
+haven't changed anything.

* Detail usage
