/// redb is not designed to support very large values, or values with special requirements (such as alignment or mutability).
/// There's a hard limit of slightly less than 4GiB per value, and performance is likely to be poor when mutating values above a few megabytes.
/// Additionally, because redb is copy-on-write, mutating a value in-place is not possible, and therefore mutating large values is slow.
/// Storing values with alignment requirements is also not supported.
///
/// This example demonstrates one way to handle such values, via a sidecar file.
