+// Theory of operations:
+// - we check whether or not the buffer is small, i.e., less than 17
+// in which case we do the byte by byte loop.
+//
+// - Otherwise we go progressively from 1 byte store to 8byte store in
+// the head part, the body is a 16byte store loop and we finish we the
+// tail for the last 15 bytes.
+// The good point about this breakdown is that the long buffer handling
+// contains only 2 branches.
+//
+// The reason for not using shifting & masking for both the head and the
+// tail is to stay semantically correct. This routine is not supposed
+// to write bytes outside of the buffer. While most of the time this would
+// be ok, we can't tolerate a mistake. A classical example is the case
+// of multithreaded code were to the extra bytes touched is actually owned
+// by another thread which runs concurrently to ours. Another, less likely,
+// example is with device drivers where reading an I/O mapped location may
+// have side effects (same thing for writing).
