I find this a bit dangerous. Would it not be confusing if we allowed a 
File to be used to open and map /foo/bar, then close it open and map 
/foo/baz and both mappings are removed when the single a signle File 
object is destroyed ?

I think error_ shall be set to 0 here right?

The API seems a bit odd here.

When opening a file we are required to provide how to open it but not 
which file to open. Would this class be simplified if the file to open 
would also be provided as an argument to open instead of either to a 
constructor or setFileName() ?

Would it make sens to pass the Span<uint8_t> returned from map as an 
argument to unmap? Reading the class definition suggest their is an 
unbalance between new fancy stuff and plain old data ;-)
