Directly dereferencing _peek() is an anti-pattern, since it may return
NULL. We know it's OK here because the earlier call to _at() would have
extended the slab. But it probably makes sense to use _at() in both
places then (or even to use _peek() for the earlier one if you want to
avoid extending, but as I said in the other message, I kind of
suspect most of these cases end up allocating slab space for most of the
commits anyway).
