/**
 * Any node in a tree can have its path (from the root to the node) represented as a string by
 * concatenating the path of the parent to that of the current node.
 *
 * We can annotate each node with a `sibling-label` which is some value unique amongst all of the
 * node's siblings. As a special case, the root is empty.
 *
 *           (none)
 *        /    |     \
 *       A     B      C
 *     /   \
 *    A    B
 *          |
 *          A
 *          |
 *          A
 *          |
 *          A
 *
 * Given these sibling-labels, we can now encode the path from any node to the root by starting at
 * the node and going up to the root, marking each node with this `path-label`. The special
 * character $ means "end of path".
 *
 *             $
 *        /    |      \
 *       A$    B$     C$
 *     /    \
 *   AA$   BA$
 *           |
 *           ABA$
 *           |
 *           AABA$
 *           |
 *           AABA$
 *
 * Given the above `path-label` we can express if any two nodes are an offspring of the other
 * through a O(1) expression:
 *
 *    x <: y :=
 *      suffix(x, y) == y
 *
 * In the above example suffix(x,y) means the suffix of x that is as long as y (right-padded with
 * $s if x is shorter than y) :
 *
 *    suffix(x,y) := x(x.length - y.length .. 0]
 *                     + repeat($, max(y.length - x.length, 0))
 *
 * A few generalities here to elaborate:
 *
 * - There can be at most D levels in the tree.
 * - Each level L has an alphabet A, and the maximum number of
 *   nodes is determined by |A|
 * - The alphabet A can be a subset, superset, equal, or unique with respect to the other alphabets
 *   without loss of generality. (In practice it would almost always be a subset of the previous
 *   levels alphabet as we assume most classes have less children the deeper they are.)
 * - The `sibling-label` doesnt need to be stored as an explicit value. It can a temporary when
 *   visiting every immediate child of a node. Only the `path-label` needs to be actually stored for
 *   every node.
 *
 * The path can also be reversed, and use a prefix instead of a suffix to define the subchild
 * relation.
 *
 *             $
 *        /    |      \    \
 *       A$    B$     C$    D$
 *     /    \
 *   AA$   AB$
 *            |
 *            ABA$
 *            |
 *            ABAA$
 *            |
 *            ABAAA$
 *
 *    x <: y :=
 *      prefix(x, y) == y
 *
 *    prefix(x,y) := x[0 .. y.length)
 *                     + repeat($, max(y.length - x.length, 0))
 *
 * In a dynamic tree, new nodes can be inserted at any time. This means if a minimal alphabet is
 * selected to contain the initial tree hierarchy, later node insertions will be illegal because
 * there is no more room to encode the path.
 *
 * In this simple example with an alphabet A,B,C and max level 1:
 *
 *     Level
 *     0:               $
 *              /     |     \     \
 *     1:      A$     B$     C$    D$   (illegal)
 *              |
 *     2:      AA$  (illegal)
 *
 * Attempting to insert the sibling D at Level 1 would be illegal because the Alphabet(1) is
 * {A,B,C} and inserting an extra node would mean the `sibling-label` is no longer unique.
 * Attempting to insert AA$ is illegal because the level 2 is more than the max level 1.
 *
 * One solution to this would be to revisit the entire graph, select a larger alphabet to that
 * every `sibling-label` is unique, pick a larger max level count, and then store the updated
 * `path-label` accordingly.
 *
 * The more common approach would instead be to select a set of alphabets and max levels statically,
 * with large enough sizes, for example:
 *
 *     Alphabets = {{A,B,C,D}, {A,B,C}, {A,B}, {A}}
 *     Max Levels = |Alphabets|
 *
 * Which would allow up to 4 levels with each successive level having 1 less max siblings.
 *
 * Attempting to insert a new node into the graph which does not fit into that levels alphabet
 * would be represented by re-using the `path-label` of the parent. Such a `path_label` would be
 * considered truncated (because it would only have a prefix of the full path from the root to the
 * node).
 *
 *    Level
 *    0:             $
 *             /     |     \     \
 *    1:      A$     B$     C$    $   (same as parent)
 *             |
 *    2:      A$ (same as parent)
 *
 * The updated relation for offspring is then:
 *
 *    x <: y :=
 *      if !truncated_path(y):
 *        return prefix(x, y) == y               // O(1)
 *      else:
 *        return slow_check_is_offspring(x, y)   // worse than O(1)
 *
 * (Example definition of truncated_path -- any semantically equivalent way to check that the
 *  sibling's `sibling-label` is not unique will do)
 *
 *    truncated_path(y) :=
 *      return y == parent(y)
 *
 * (Example definition. Any slower-than-O(1) definition will do here. This is the traversing
 * superclass hierarchy solution)
 *
 *    slow_check_is_offspring(x, y) :=
 *      if not x: return false
 *      else: return x == y || recursive_is_offspring(parent(x), y)
 *
 * In which case slow_check_is_offspring is some non-O(1) way to check if x and is an offspring of y.
 *
 * In addition, note that it doesnt matter if the "x" from above is a unique sibling or not; the
 * relation will still be correct.
 *
 * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * Leveraging truncated paths to minimize path lengths.
 *
 * As observed above, for any x <: y, it is sufficient to have a full path only for y,
 * and x can be truncated (to its nearest ancestor's full path).
 *
 * We call a node that stores a full path "Assigned", and a node that stores a truncated path
 * either "Initialized" or "Overflowed."
 *
 * "Initialized" means it is still possible to assign a full path to the node, and "Overflowed"
 * means there is insufficient characters in the alphabet left.
 *
 * In this example, assume that we attempt to "Assign" all non-leafs if possible. Leafs
 * always get truncated (as either Initialized or Overflowed).
 *
 *     Alphabets = {{A,B,C,D}, {A,B}}
 *     Max Levels = |Alphabets|
 *
 *    Level
 *    0:             $
 *             /     |     \     \     \
 *    1:      A$     B$     C$    D$    $ (Overflowed: Too wide)
 *            |             |
 *    2:     AA$            C$ (Initialized)
 *            |
 *    3:     AA$ (Overflowed: Too deep)
 *
 * (All un-annotated nodes are "Assigned").
 * Above, the node at level 3 becomes overflowed because it exceeds the max levels. The
 * right-most node at level 1 becomes overflowed because there's no characters in the alphabet
 * left in that level.
 *
 * The "C$" node is Initialized at level 2, but it can still be promoted to "Assigned" later on
 * if we wanted to.
 *
 * In particular, this is the strategy we use in our implementation
 * (SubtypeCheck::EnsureInitialized, SubtypeCheck::EnsureAssigned).
 *
 * Since the # of characters in our alphabet (BitString) is very limited, we want to avoid
 * allocating a character to a node until its absolutely necessary.
 *
 * All node targets (in `src <: target`) get Assigned, and any parent of an Initialized
 * node also gets Assigned.
