/*
 * The dm-array is a persistent version of an array.  It packs the data
 * more efficiently than a btree which will result in less disk space use,
 * and a performance boost.  The element get and set operations are still
 * O(ln(n)), but with a much smaller constant.
 *
 * The value type structure is reused from the btree type to support proper
 * reference counting of values.
 *
 * The arrays implicitly know their length, and bounds are checked for
 * lookups and updated.  It doesn't store this in an accessible place
 * because it would waste a whole metadata block.  Make sure you store the
 * size along with the array root in your encompassing data.
 *
 * Array entries are indexed via an unsigned integer starting from zero.
 * Arrays are not sparse; if you resize an array to have 'n' entries then
 * 'n - 1' will be the last valid index.
 *
 * Typical use:
 *
 * a) initialise a dm_array_info structure.  This describes the array
 *    values and ties it into a specific transaction manager.  It holds no
 *    instance data; the same info can be used for many similar arrays if
 *    you wish.
 *
 * b) Get yourself a root.  The root is the index of a block of data on the
 *    disk that holds a particular instance of an array.  You may have a
 *    pre existing root in your metadata that you wish to use, or you may
 *    want to create a brand new, empty array with dm_array_empty().
 *
 * Like the other data structures in this library, dm_array objects are
 * immutable between transactions.  Update functions will return you the
 * root for a _new_ array.  If you've incremented the old root, via
 * dm_tm_inc(), before calling the update function you may continue to use
 * it in parallel with the new root.
 *
 * c) resize an array with dm_array_resize().
 *
 * d) Get a value from the array with dm_array_get_value().
 *
 * e) Set a value in the array with dm_array_set_value().
 *
 * f) Walk an array of values in index order with dm_array_walk().  More
 *    efficient than making many calls to dm_array_get_value().
 *
 * g) Destroy the array with dm_array_del().  This tells the transaction
 *    manager that you're no longer using this data structure so it can
 *    recycle it's blocks.  (dm_array_dec() would be a better name for it,
 *    but del is in keeping with dm_btree_del()).
