This also speeds up file access time on brain-dead file systems (like those
found on Windows). Nice change!

Yup, you got it.

It used to explicitly look for the string literal "END" in the file. IIRC,
it raised an exception if that wasn't found.

Kinda puzzling that 0.9.36 is taken off of the 1.0.x branch, but whatever. :)
