These two are presumably 4-byte-wide network byte order integers.
We should spell it out.

Likewise, how wide is each entry and in what byte order, and how
many entries are there in the table?
... oh, what about the "one beyond the last"? We cannot
go back to the forward index to learn the offset of such
an non-existent object, can we?
Again, I expect it to be 4-byte-wide network byte order integer.

I said it when I saw the beginning of v1 API patches, but it is a
bit unreasonable to call the act of "computing from the forward
index" "to load from memory". Loading from disk perfectly works as
a phrase, though.

We've seen hardcoded constant "12" twice so far in this patch.
We need a C proprocessor macro "#define RIDX_FILE_HEADER_SIZE 12" or
something, perhaps?

Good. We are using 32-bit uint in network byte order. We should
document it as such.
Let's not strip const away while casting, though. get_be32()
ensures that it only reads and never writes thru the pointer, and
p->revindex_data is a "const void *".

OK, here is the answer to my previous question. We should document
that the table has num_objects entries in the on-disk file (we do
not need to say that there is no sentinel entry in the table at the
end).

Hmph, I missed where it got checked for consistency, though. If the
file is corrupt and has say duplicated entries, we'd happily grab
the data via get_be32(), for example.

Again, I know this is a kind of detail that is interesting to those
who implemented the function, but I wonder how it would help those
who wonder if they should call it or use some other method to
achieve what they want.
