   where the keys in the index are treated as patterns.
   This feature is required for module aliases.
*/

/* Implementation is based on a radix tree, or "trie".
   Each arc from parent to child is labelled with a character.
   Each path from the root represents a string.

   == Example strings ==

   ask
   ate
   on
   once
   one

   == Key ==
    + Normal node
    * Marked node, representing a key and it's values.

   Naive implementations tend to be very space inefficient; child pointers
   are stored in arrays indexed by character, but most child pointers are null.

   Our implementation uses a scheme described by Wikipedia as a Patrica trie,

       "easiest to understand as a space-optimized trie where
        each node with only one child is merged with its child"

   |   `-te-*

   `-on-*-ce-*
        |
        `-e-*

   We still use arrays of child pointers indexed by a single character;
   the remaining characters of the label are stored as a "prefix" in the child.

   The paper describing the original Patrica trie works on individiual bits -
   each node has a maximum of two children, which increases space efficiency.
   However for this application it is simpler to use the ASCII character set.
   Since the index file is read-only, it can be compressed by omitting null
   child pointers at the start and end of arrays.
