17 /* Sparse array data structure.
19 Implements a dictionary that associates a "unsigned long int"
20 key with fixed-size values (elements).
22 The implementation allocates elements in groups of moderate
23 size, so it achieves maximum space efficiency when elements
24 are clustered into groups of consecutive keys. For the same
25 reason, elements should be kept relatively small, perhaps a
26 few pointer elements in size.
28 The implementation is slightly more efficient both in time and
29 space when indexes are kept small. Thus, for example, if the
30 indexes in use start from some fixed base value, consider
31 using the offset from that base as the index value. */
