  76    Naive implementations tend to be very space inefficient; child pointers
  77    are stored in arrays indexed by character, but most child pointers are null.
  78
  79    Our implementation uses a scheme described by Wikipedia as a Patrica trie,
  80
  81        "easiest to understand as a space-optimized trie where
  82         each node with only one child is merged with its child"

  92
  93    We still use arrays of child pointers indexed by a single character;
  94    the remaining characters of the label are stored as a "prefix" in the child.
  95
  96    The paper describing the original Patrica trie works on individiual bits -
  97    each node has a maximum of two children, which increases space efficiency.
  98    However for this application it is simpler to use the ASCII character set.
  99    Since the index file is read-only, it can be compressed by omitting null
 100    child pointers at the start and end of arrays.
