 TODO list for agedu
 ===================
 
- - stop trying to calculate an upper bound on the index file size.
-   Instead, just mmap it at initial size + delta, and periodically
-   re-mmap it during index building if it grows too big. If we run
-   out of address space, we'll hear about it eventually; and
-   computing upper bounds given the new optimised index tends to be
-   a factor of five out, which is bad because it'll lead to running
-   out of theoretical address space and erroneously reporting
-   failure long before we run out of it for real.
