  that we need to grab the first 256 bytes anyways to detect if the file in
  question is a text file, as the fallback).

+ ==== Avoid bugs ====
+ When writing code, try to avoid bugs as much as possible. This includes, always
+ compiling with warnings enabled (''-Wall'') and let the compiler treat warnings
