Well, I sympathize with the idea of sticking to the underlying syscall
semantics; yet, for my own uses of ‘sendfile’, I can only think of cases
all I want is to send the file.

(Besides, it seems to be unusual to get ‘sendfile’ to send less than
asked to.  The ‘pipe’ example mentioned in the manual would show up at
most once every 10 iterations with our test case.)
