//! Rope strings — lazy-concatenation string values (`ROADMAP.md` §3, item 4).
//!
//! Building a string by repeated concatenation (`s += chunk` in a loop, a
//! `join`, a template assembled piecewise) is quadratic with a flat buffer:
//! each `+` copies the whole left side. A **rope** stores a concatenation as a
//! small tree of shared segments, so joining two ropes is O(1) — it allocates
//! one interior node pointing at both sides — and the characters are only
//! copied once, when the final string is materialized.
//!
//! `Rope` is a cheap-to-clone handle (`Rc` inside). Concatenation is O(1) and
//! length is O(1) (cached per node); materializing flattens to a `String`
//! in O(n) with an explicit work stack, so even a deeply left-nested rope — the
//! exact shape `s += x` in a loop produces — flattens without recursing.
//!
//! Pure, safe `alloc`-only Rust. (Small-string inlining is a later refinement;
//! the tree already fixes the asymptotics that bite real code.)
//!
//! # Storage: WTF-8 bytes
//!
//! Leaves hold **WTF-8 bytes** (`Box<[u8]>`), not `Box<str>`, so a string may
//! carry lone UTF-16 surrogates (DOMString semantics — see [`crate::wtf8`]). A
//! string with no surrogates is byte-identical to its UTF-8, so the common case
//! is unchanged. `Rope::from`/`Rope::leaf` store a `&str`'s (valid-WTF-8)
//! bytes; `Rope::from_wtf8`/`Rope::from_bytes` take surrogate-bearing bytes.
//! `Rope::materialize_bytes` returns the WTF-8 bytes; `Rope::materialize`
//! and `Display` stay `String`-typed and are **lossy** (surrogates → U+FFFD),
//! so existing `&str`/`String` callers compile and behave unchanged for
//! non-surrogate strings. Surrogate-correct accessors land in a later milestone.
