That's what I meant, but it's definitely not easy. Emacs assumes it can
just copy all data into the kill ring, for instance. I couldn't write
such a node though I'd appreciate it very much.

Maybe 10 years ago that was true. Today I see huge (over 300 MB) files
very often (as a programmer and as a sysadmin). Logs of all sorts, for
instance, and database dumps.
It gets annoying to use less, split, grep, and Perl to get things done
when in Emacs it would have been a few quick commands. But I cope.
