Just something I noticed while evaluating this subroutine
for the buffering overhaul.

I'm over the moon with this series since this drops dozens of
megabytes of scratchpad use while providing tiny speedups along
the way.  For me, that's a 10-15% reduction in memory use under
public-inbox-netd w/ mwrap-perl[1] overhead.

This scratchpad use has been bothering me for a long time
(since I fixed all the other leaks, including one in the core
Encode module).

There's more coming, of course, but this series is big enough
and shown good results on https://yhbt.net/lore/

Also, it also provides a good pattern/guidance going forward
on how to efficiently implement future features.

I actually started out in this series trying to buffer
everything using gzip to avoid space-wasting uncompressed
strings living in memory.  Unfortunately,
Compress::Raw::Zlib::deflate calls proved too expensive to call
frequently for short strings.

Going back to `.=' ops via a ->zadd method brought back some of
the speed while consolidating the scratchpad to a single place;
but I didn't like the performance regression.

I kept those detours in the history presented here since I
figure it's worth showing

Finally relying on PerlIO::scalar with print|say ops proved to
be the fastest since OO ->method dispatch overhead can be avoided
and there's no scratchpad use at all from these, either.

As before, we still call C:R:Z:deflate after every full message
and flush to the socket periodically.

I may even consider using PerlIO::gzip in the future, but that's
a non-standard module.  However, I definitely took inspiration
from it since I saw that it would buffer uncompressed data into
memory before compressing it.

There's also a few small simplifications and speedups I noticed
along the way, and several other bugfixes I posted independently
while working on this series.
