+ * produce a final materialized tape of sorted output in all cases.  This is
+ * frozen, just like any case requiring a final materialized tape.  However,
+ * there is one difference, which is that freezing will also export an
+ * underlying shared fileset BufFile for sharing.  Freezing produces TapeShare
+ * metadata for the worker when this happens, which is passed along through
+ * shared memory to leader.
+ *
+ * The leader process can then pass an array of TapeShare metadata (one per
+ * worker participant) to LogicalTapeSetCreate(), alongside a handle to a
+ * shared fileset, which is sufficient to construct a new logical tapeset that
+ * consists of each of the tapes materialized by workers.
+ *
+ * Note that while logtape.c does create an empty leader tape at the end of the
+ * tapeset in the leader case, it can never be written to due to a restriction
+ * in the shared buffile infrastructure.
