    // This interner works on the assumption that
    // `head` won't ever be reallocated, since this could invalidate
    // some of our stored pointers inside `spans`.
    // This means that any operation on `head` and `full` should be carefully
    // reviewed to not cause Undefined Behaviour.
    // `intern` has a more thorough explanation on this.
    //
    // Also, if you want to implement `shrink_to_fit` (and friends),
    // please check out https://github.com/Robbepop/string-interner/pull/47 first.
    // This doesn't implement that method, since implementing it increases
    // our memory footprint.
