+/*
+ * 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()).
