+//! Some tags, like compounds and arrays, contain other tags. The naive approach would be to just
+//! use `Vec`s or `HashMap`s, but this is inefficient and leads to many small allocations.
+//!
+//! Instead, the idea for this is essentially that we'd have two big Vec for every tag (one for
+//! named tags and one for unnamed tags), and then compounds/arrays simply contain a slice of this
+//! vec.
+//!
+//! This almost works. but there's two main issues:
+//! - compounds aren't length-prefixed, so we can't pre-allocate at the beginning of compounds for
+//! the rest of that compound
+//! - resizing a vec might move it in memory, invalidating all of our slices to it
+//!
+//! solving the first problem isn't that hard, since we can have a separate vec for every "depth"
+//! (so compounds in compounds don't share the same vec).
+//! to solve the second problem, i chose to implement a special data structure
+//! that relies on low-level allocations so we can guarantee that our allocations don't move in memory.
