Maybe, then, it is worthwhile loading a page worth
of characters from the big string for the next round
of fill-up completions?  If this loading doesn't happen

Or if we are at it, we might experiment with slice renamings
or pointer artihmetic; requires a rewrite, I'd think.
If the rules permit this at all ;-)
