"B-tree variant for word index, with 2 cumulants (no. of occs, last wd. in parent), refcounts."

-- ***************************************************************************************************************
-- ****** B-tree variant for word index, with 2 cumulants (no. of occs, last wd. in parent), refcounts  ******
-- ***************************************************************************************************************
	-- Refcounts can be ignored except in the wix_set_comp, wix_insert, split_node, share_right, join_left,
	-- and join_left routines.
-- This B-tree represents the words-to-number-of-occurences index 

-- Given an indexable word associated with a database, this tree indexes to the start, in the word-occurences
-- bigstring, of the corresponding occurences list. It stores (as cumuants) the cumulated length
-- of all such occurences lists, and the first 10 or 11 characters of each indexed word. 
-- To deal with indexed words larger than this, we use a special 'self-defining' encoding, keep the first part
-- of each excessivley long word in the tree, and store the remainder of the word (which can be of any
-- length up to 32K characters) ast the start of the corresponding occurences section.
-- (For compatibility with existing code, a zone whose length is a multiple of 4 bytes is used for this.)
-- The self-defining encoding used is as follows. Words of up to 128 bytes are padded with zero bytes
-- to at least 11 bytes (but if longer than 11 bytes, always to one less than a multiple of 4 bytes),
-- and are preceded by an extra byte giving the string length. Words of more than 128 bytes 
-- (but of no more than 32K bytes) are preceded by two bytes giving their string length (the first byte being 
-- incremented by 128 to distinguish it from the preceding case), and padded with zero bytes to 2 less than
-- a multiple of 4 bytes.

-- This index stores words in the alphabetical order of these encoded forms. So to search for a word W
-- of up to 11 bytes, we use its encoded form to search as usual; when the first larger word FLW
-- has been found we know immediately from the first 12 bytes of FLW whether it equals W. We search
-- for words of more than 11 words in the same way. However, when the first potentially larger word is found
-- (examining the lead 12 bytes only) we may have to examine its additional bytes (stored at the start
-- of the corresponding occurences section) to determine whether this is indeed larger, and if
-- not my need to conduct a binary search among words with the same 12 lead bytes to find the first largest.
-- However, such coincidences of word length and first 10 actual bytes should be infrequent. 
-- Obviously the treatment of such longer words is substantially less efficient than that of words of up to
-- 11 bytes in length. To avoid searches on longer words, the database fructions that transform of records
-- into lists of words should be designed to compress words where possible, e.g. by compressing integers, 
-- and by using auxiliary encoding dictionaries to replace words by word numbers.
