That's reasonable. radixtree already forbids mutations concurrent with
iteration, so there's no new concurrency hazard. One alternative is
per_buffer_data big enough for MaxOffsetNumber, but that might thrash caches
measurably. That patch is good to go apart from these trivialities:

This cosmetic change is orthogonal to the patch's mission.
