As Tim Bray says that is another fine way to do it.

We started off doing something like this in LTNSL, but stopped doing
filemapping (a) because it wasn't very portable and (b) either you do
some tricky decisions about when you free these pointers into the
source or it makes reading huge corpora like the 2 gigabyte BNC corpus
impossible which we wanted to be able to do.
