 ## Must
 
- - fast resume:
-   use gzopen(fn, "rb"/"wb9-/f/h", gzwrite, gzread and gzclose
+ - docs: AFL_DISABLE_REDUNDANT (large/slow/LAF)
  - check for null ptr for xml/curl/g_ string transform functions
  - hardened_usercopy=0 page_alloc.shuffle=0
  - add value_profile but only enable after 15 minutes without finds
