/// A map based on a B-Tree.
///
/// B-Trees represent a fundamental compromise between cache-efficiency and actually minimizing
/// the amount of work performed in a search. In theory, a binary search tree (BST) is the optimal
/// choice for a sorted map, as a perfectly balanced BST performs the theoretical minimum amount of
/// comparisons necessary to find an element (log<sub>2</sub>n). However, in practice the way this
/// is done is *very* inefficient for modern computer architectures. In particular, every element
/// is stored in its own individually heap-allocated node. This means that every single insertion
/// triggers a heap-allocation, and every single comparison should be a cache-miss. Since these
/// are both notably expensive things to do in practice, we are forced to at very least reconsider
/// the BST strategy.
///
/// A B-Tree instead makes each node contain B-1 to 2B-1 elements in a contiguous array. By doing
/// this, we reduce the number of allocations by a factor of B, and improve cache efficiency in
/// searches. However, this does mean that searches will have to do *more* comparisons on average.
/// The precise number of comparisons depends on the node search strategy used. For optimal cache
/// efficiency, one could search the nodes linearly. For optimal comparisons, one could search
/// the node using binary search. As a compromise, one could also perform a linear search
/// that initially only checks every i<sup>th</sup> element for some choice of i.
///
/// Currently, our implementation simply performs naive linear search. This provides excellent
/// performance on *small* nodes of elements which are cheap to compare. However in the future we
/// would like to further explore choosing the optimal search strategy based on the choice of B,
/// and possibly other factors. Using linear search, searching for a random element is expected
/// to take O(B log<sub>B</sub>n) comparisons, which is generally worse than a BST. In practice,
/// however, performance is excellent.
///
/// It is a logic error for a key to be modified in such a way that the key's ordering relative to
/// any other key, as determined by the `Ord` trait, changes while it is in the map. This is
/// normally only possible through `Cell`, `RefCell`, global state, I/O, or unsafe code.

    // result node. This has two consequences:
    //
    // 1) While ODS produces a left node of size B-1, and a right node of size B,
    // we may potentially reverse this. However, this shouldn't effect the analysis.
    //

    // the split, we will never do this. Again, this shouldn't effect the analysis.

    //      with the item in their mutual parent that separates them, and then insert the
    //      parent's item and the taken child into the first (last) index of the underflowed node.
    //
    //      However, stealing has the possibility of underflowing our neighbour. If this is the
    //      case, we instead *merge* with our neighbour. This of course reduces the number of
    //      children in the parent. Therefore, we also steal the item that separates the now
    //      merged nodes, and insert it into the merged node.
    //
    //      Merging may cause the parent to underflow. If this is the case, then we must repeat
    //      the underflow handling process on the parent. If merging merges the last two children
    //      of the root, then we replace the root with the merged node.
