+/// This is a simple immutable implemenation of of a Merkle Search Tree (MST) for atproto.
+///
+/// Mutations on the data structure are not implemented; instead the entire tree is read into a
+/// BTreeMap, that is mutated, and then the entire tree is regenerated. This makes implementation
+/// much simpler, at the obvious cost of performance in some situations.
+///
+/// The MST is basically a sorted key/value store where the key is a string and the value is a CID.
+/// Tree nodes are stored as DAG-CBOG IPLD blocks, with references as CIDs.
+///
+/// In the atproto MST implementation, SHA-256 is the hashing algorithm, and "leading zeros" are
+/// counted in blocks of 4 bits (so a leading zero byte counts as two zeros). This happens to match
+/// simple hex encoding of the SHA-256 hash.
