/// and inlined structs (sometimes faster).
///
/// The particular structure of the trait (GAT for container type) is needed to
/// enable the storage type to not carry a parameter, e.g. `Node<T,
/// InlineStorage>` (rather than `Node<T, InlineStorage<T>>`). This is desirable
/// to make type inference and trait derivation much more straightforward.

/// # Memory Efficiency
///
/// Vastly more memory-efficient than inline storage: `heaptrack` suggests on the order of 5x
/// better.
///
/// Notably, `size_of::<Box<T>>()` is always a single `usize`, while an inline `Node` is 2
/// `Array256`es, which are comparatively large (256-bit bitset + vec -> ~7x larger up to alignment
/// on a 64-bit arch). Suspect the large overhead for inline storage is mostly due to the
/// powers-of-two oversizing of the `Node::children` Vec storage: this is going to be costly in
/// direct proportion to the size of the contained value.
