//! Hash-chain match finder shared by the LZ encoders.
//!
//! Positions are indexed into a single-bucket-per-hash chain: `head` maps a
//! hash of the `MIN_MATCH` bytes at a position to the most recently inserted
//! position, and `prev` links each inserted position to the previous position
//! with the same hash. Walking a chain therefore visits candidates from the
//! smallest distance to the largest, so callers can stop as soon as a
//! candidate falls outside their window.

/// Sentinel for "no position" in `head`/`prev` chains.
