    Hi Markus,

    thanks a lot for showing me this code. It's pretty complex, so I dunno
    exactly how much use I'll be able to make of it. However, who knows, it
    might come to be of use.

    (In reply to Mark Davis:) The flattened trie using offsets, read in as
    a memory mapped file: That sounds like a good idea. I may go ahead with
    that.
