linear-containers allows users to use data structures
that can be modified in-place.
The base of linear-containers is the module Linear.Reference
which implements a malloc/free interface that cannot leak memory.
Using Linear.Reference as a base, we can extend
many built-in data structures so that they can be modified in-place.
The new data structures will have better performance than the
built-in ones when they reach large sizes (example > 1 GB).
The increase in performance results from a lot less
Garbage Collection (GC) pauses.
Current data structures extended:
