/// A slice-able buffer of monotonically increasing, positive integers used to store run-ends
///
/// # Logical vs Physical
///
/// A [`RunEndBuffer`] is used to encode runs of the same value, the index of each run is
/// called the physical index. The logical index is then the corresponding index in the logical
/// run-encoded array, i.e. a single run of length `3`, would have the logical indices `0..3`.
///
/// Each value in [`RunEndBuffer::values`] is the cumulative length of all runs in the
/// logical array, up to that physical index.
///
/// Consider a [`RunEndBuffer`] containing `[3, 4, 6]`. The maximum physical index is `2`,
/// as there are `3` values, and the maximum logical index is `5`, as the maximum run end
/// is `6`. The physical indices are therefore `[0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 2]`
