You're right!  Thank you!  However, we also need it for the hole ==
true case, don't we?  So maybe something like this, incrementally on top of
patch 22/22:

P.S. Can someone come up with a better name for this variable than 'first'?
I'd usually use 'offset', but that's already taken.  'annoying_bit' seems a
bit judgemental.  'misaligned', maybe?  'skip' or 'seek' like dd uses?
