Yes, I believe I understood it correctly...

In the case of ReadFileScatter, each T[] has the size of (at 
most) 1 page.

In the case of a random linked list, each T[] has the size of 1 
element.

Hence you can represent both of them as "a range of T[]", but 
really, that's just trying to fit it into a mold instead of 
creating the mold based on the actual thing.

What it *really* is is just a discontiguous buffer...
