Determine the Buffer Representation

[iamrecursion]

Summary

Given that we're going to be maintaining a set of edits on an internal representation of each open file, it's very important that we have a high-performance underlying representation that is amenable to editing.

Value

We will not run into memory or performance issues with the open buffers.

Specification

• Determine which underlying structure is most appropriate for us to use.
• This need not account for later use with CRDTs, but it is a bonus if it does.

Acceptance Criteria & Test Cases

• We know which underlying structure we want to use to represent text buffers.
