//! This module contains the VTable definitions for a Vortex encoding.
//!
//! A Vortex array encoding is implemented by a small static vtable type plus an associated
//! `TypedArrayData` value stored in each array instance. The vtable owns behavior such as
//! validation, serialization, execution, child traversal, scalar access, and validity access.
//!
//! The public [`ArrayRef`] API performs common precondition checks before calling
//! into these traits. Implementations should focus on encoding-specific work and uphold the
//! documented postconditions.
