/// A trie of free lists.
///
/// This is an unusual little data structure originally from Doug Lea's malloc.
/// Finding the best fit from a set of differently-sized free list typically
/// required some kind of ordered map, and these are typically implemented using
/// a self-balancing binary search tree. Those are notorious for having a
/// relatively large number of special cases, while this trie has relatively
/// few, which helps with code size.
///
/// Operations on the trie are logarithmic not on the number of nodes within it,
/// but rather the fixed range of possible sizes that the trie can contain. This
/// means that the data structure would likely actually perform worse than an
/// e.g. red-black tree, but its implementation is still much simpler.
///
/// Each trie node's children subdivide the range of possible sizes into two
/// halves: a lower and an upper. The node itself holds a free list of some size
/// within its range. This makes it possible to summarily replace any node with
/// any leaf within its subtrie, which makes it very straightforward to remove a
/// node. Insertion is also simple; the only real complexity lies with finding
/// the best fit. This can still be done in logarithmic time with only a few
/// cases to consider.
///
/// The trie refers to, but does not own, the Nodes that comprise it.
