//! Session-local free-space tracking for in-place editing (issue #21).
//!
//! [`File::open_rw`](crate::File::open_rw) writes by appending at end-of-file and,
//! on each commit, leaves the superseded object headers and any deleted-object
//! blocks behind as dead bytes. This module records those freed regions so a
//! later allocation can reuse them instead of growing the file, and so a run of
//! free space that reaches end-of-file can be truncated away.
//!
//! It is the in-memory half of HDF5's "free-space management". For a file opened
//! without persistence (the default) it is purely session-local: freed-but-
//! unreused space is invisible to other tools, exactly as the reference C
//! library's default `FSM_AGGR` strategy with persistence off leaves it. When the
//! file was created with `persist = true`, [`File::open_rw`](crate::File::open_rw)
//! seeds this list from the on-disk free-space managers (the `FSHD`/`FSSE` blocks
//! the File Space Info superblock-extension message points at) on open and writes
//! it back on each commit, so reuse spans sessions (see
//! [`free_space_manager`](crate::free_space_manager)).
//!
//! The structure is a sorted, fully coalesced list of disjoint `[addr, addr+len)`
//! regions. Every public operation preserves both invariants (sorted by address,
//! no two regions touching or overlapping), so the list is always in a canonical
//! form and `trailing_free` is a single comparison against the highest region.
/// A contiguous run of free bytes in the file, `[addr, addr + len)`.
