.. and since it happens to be exactly 32 years today since I released
0.01, I decided to go back and look.

Obviously fs/buffer.c existed back then too, but admittedly it was
even smaller and simpler back then.

"It's small" clearly means something different today than it did 32 years ago.

Today:

$ wc -l fs/buffer.c
3152 fs/buffer.c

Back then:

$ wc -l fs/buffer.c
254 fs/buffer.c

So things have certainly changed. LOL.
