best used in bulk, on the order of MiB of memory allocated on each use.

Note that by allowing for this limited form of manual memory allocation
that use-after-free bugs are possible with regular Go values. This package
limits the impact of these use-after-free bugs by preventing reuse of freed
memory regions until the garbage collector is able to determine that it is

	// Some buggy readers treat regular files with a trailing slash
	// in the V7 path field as a directory even though the full path
	// recorded elsewhere (e.g., via PAX record) contains no trailing slash.
