The advantage of being able to make the code transparently more
pluggable for max large sizes while we already use 8-byte offsets is
kind of nice, I guess.  "availbytes" is a clarification bonus as it is
not an offset per-se.  I can see that you have missed on cast spot, so
adjusted things a bit, then applied the result.
