Should we make this code (the various folio map/pin count inline
functions) more uniform? I see that you prefer "+1" over page[1], sure,
but having a mix seems like it's trying to call out a difference for
which the reader would search in vain. :)

After the whole series is applied, this area ends up with a 50/50 mix of the
two.

Or am I overlooking something, and they really *should* look different?


Just a very minor point, so either way,
