Yes, as I replied -- I'll change the code and will add a comment. But also note
that we do dump special fdinfo first on purpose -- the restorer will not waste
time skipping unneeded entries. So it does matter where this entries live, still
the code is able to work correctly even if special entries are placed at the
end of the file :) Ie dump special entries early -- it's just optimization
for restorer.
