Thanks.

Not sure I agree on this. But it should be noted that I always run with
quick_abort in it's most aggressive setting (quick_abort_max 0 KB) to
avoid the cornercases.

On this I agree.

It should also be noticed that quick_abort_ and range_offset_limit will be
mostly a non-issue when Squid gains the capability to cache partial
objects and I consider this a higher priority task. This is a farily big
job however.
