//
// StringAtomSet implements the global shared state, which is:
//
// - a group of std::string instances with a persistent address, allocated
// through a fast slab allocator.
//
// - a set of string pointers, corresponding to the known strings in the
// group.
//
// - a mutex to ensure correct thread-safety.
//
// - a find() method that takes an std::string_view argument, and uses it
// to find a matching entry in the string tree. If none is available,
// a new std::string is allocated and its address inserted into the tree
// before being returned.
//
// Because the mutex is a large bottleneck, each thread implements
// its own local string pointer cache, and will only call StringAtomSet::find()
// in case of a lookup miss. This is critical for good performance.

// 2) Call Lookup() with the hash value and the string_view key,
// this always returns a mutable Node* pointer, say |node|.

// 3) If |node->key| is not nullptr, this is the key to use.
// Otherwise, allocate a new string with persistent address,
// and call Insert(), passing the |node|, |hash| and new string
