Even,

Very impressive work, I am supportive.

IMHO it would be wonderful if there was also an mmap() based mechanism
where you could ask for the virtual memory chunk and you get it back (if it
works) along with stride values to access in it.  This could likely be made
to work for most "raw" based formats and a few others too.  It might also
allow non-mmap() based files to return an organization based more on their
actual organization for efficiency.

Best regards,
Frank
