% File: bt_array.m
% Main author: bromage.
% Stability: medium-low
%
% This file contains a set of predicates for generating and manipulating a
% bt_array data structure. This implementation allows O(log n) access and
% update time, and does not require the bt_array to be unique. If you need
% O(1) access/update time, use the array datatype instead. (`bt_array' is
% supposed to stand for either "binary tree array" or "backtrackable array".)
%
% Implementation obscurity: This implementation is biased towards larger
% indices. The access/update time for a bt_array of size N with index I is
% actually O(log(N-I)). The reason for this is so that the resize operations
% can be optimised for a (possibly very) common case, and to exploit
% accumulator recursion in some operations. See the documentation of resize
% and shrink for more details.
