If you want to copy from one mem location to another even if they overlap
*and* preserve the contents, then you should use memmove and pay the
overhead of the temporary buffer it probably allocates.
Just a note: memmove doesn't need any temporary storage. It just has to
decide if it's going to copy the bytes front-to-back or back-to-front
depending on the relative position of the to pointers.
