I'm a bit surprised you don't need to pass a length to this to be able
to tell how much you can access.

which then makes me wonder if all the uses of this are safe near the
end of the block.

but then this sounds like it's going to have partial duplication, it already
looks
like it's only going to succeed if it finds itself a block that the access fits
in.
