/// ## Validity
/// An item adress `addr` is *valid* in a given BTreeMap if it `addr.id` refers to an existing
/// node and if `addr.offset` is comprised between `-1` and the number of items in the node (included).
/// We say that `addr` is *occupied* if it points to an actual item
/// (`addr.offset` at least 0 and less than the number of items in the node).
///
/// The following diagram shows all the valid address in a B-Tree.

/// ### Back addresses
///
/// A "back address" is a valid address whose offset is at least `0`.
/// If `addr.offset` is equal to the number of items in the node then it doesn't actually refer
/// to an existing item in the node,
/// but it can be used to insert a new item with `BTreeExt::insert_at`.

/// ```
/// Note that an address with offset `-1` is *not* a back address.
///
/// ### Front addresses
///
/// A "front address" is a valid address whose offset is less that the number of items in the node.
/// If `addr.offset` is equal to `-1`, then it doesn't actually refer to an existing item in the node.
///
/// The following diagram shows all the front addresses in a node.
