+ *
+ * A relatively simple B+Tree implementation. I have written it as a learning
+ * excercise to understand how B+Trees work. Turned out to be useful as well.
+ *
+ * B+Trees can be used similar to Linux radix trees (which don't have anything
+ * in common with textbook radix trees, beware). Prerequisite for them working
+ * well is that access to a random tree node is much faster than a large number
+ * of operations within each node.
+ *
+ * Disks have fulfilled the prerequisite for a long time. More recently DRAM
+ * has gained similar properties, as memory access times, when measured in cpu
+ * cycles, have increased. Cacheline sizes have increased as well, which also
+ * helps B+Trees.
+ *
+ * Compared to radix trees, B+Trees are more efficient when dealing with a
+ * sparsely populated address space. Between 25% and 50% of the memory is
+ * occupied with valid pointers. When densely populated, radix trees contain
+ * ~98% pointers - hard to beat. Very sparse radix trees contain only ~2%
+ * pointers.
+ *
+ * This particular implementation stores pointers identified by a long value.
+ * Storing NULL pointers is illegal, lookup will return NULL when no entry
+ * was found.
+ *
+ * A tricks was used that is not commonly found in textbooks. The lowest
+ * values are to the right, not to the left. All used slots within a node
+ * are on the left, all unused slots contain NUL values. Most operations
+ * simply loop once over all slots and terminate on the first NUL.
