+/*
+ * Use a non-balancing simple 256-tree structure with struct int_node as
+ * internal nodes, and struct leaf_node as leaf nodes. Each int_node has a
+ * 256-array of pointers to its children
+ * The bottom 2 bits of each pointer is used to identify the pointer type
+ * - ptr & 3 == 0 - NULL pointer, assert(ptr == NULL)
+ * - ptr & 3 == 1 - pointer to next internal node - cast to struct int_node *
+ * - ptr & 3 == 2 - pointer to note entry - cast to struct leaf_node *
+ * - ptr & 3 == 3 - pointer to subtree entry - cast to struct leaf_node *
+ *
+ * The root node is always an inline struct int_node.
+ * An array_entry always starts out with all pointers set to NULL.
+ *
+ * To add a leaf_node:
+ * 1. Start at the root node, with n = 0
+ * 2. Use the nth byte of the key as an index into a:
+ *    - If NULL, store the tweaked pointer directly into a[n]
+ *    - If an int_node, recurse into that node and increment n
+ *    - If a leaf_node:
+ *      1. Check if they're equal, and handle that (abort? overwrite?)
+ *      2. Create a new int_node, and store both leaf_nodes there
+ *      3. Store the new int_node into a[n].
+ *
+ * To find a leaf_node:
+ * 1. Start at the root node, with n = 0
+ * 2. Use the nth byte of the key as an index into a:
+ *    - If an int_node, recurse into that node and increment n
+ *    - If a leaf_node with matching key, return leaf_node (assert note entry)
+ *    - If a matching subtree entry, unpack that subtree entry (and remove it);
+ *      restart search at the current level.
+ *    - Otherwise, we end up at a NULL pointer, or a non-matching leaf_node.
+ *      Backtrack out of the recursion, one level at a time and check a[0]:
+ *      - If a[0] at the current level is a matching subtree entry, unpack that
+ *        subtree entry (and remove it); restart search at the current level.
