Review Comment:
   Thanks. I get where you’re coming from, though I'm personally not convinced 
it would have been much smoother - there aren't _many_ custom data structures 
of the kind discussed. Adapting poorly-fitting data structures requires as much 
mental gymnastics in my experience - just in the places you contort them, as 
you map between what you intend and what they support cleanly, which only gets 
worse as the delta widens. You usually end up much less efficient in memory and 
cpu for your efforts to boot.
   
   Making your core data structures properly match the core functionality is 
much simpler IME, especially in the long run. But, each to their own - it is 
hardly an objective science.
   
   In this particular case, I reached initially for `BitSet`, but found it 
wanting. I think the other main case we could perhaps point to would be 
`SortedArrays` - which is all functionality we would have had to implement 
bespoke in *some* way, just using different primitives and probably requiring 
plenty of squinting all the same. But let’s have a retrospective as the project 
winds down to go over some of the design choices and see if there are any 
places we could have made better choices and that perhaps introduced 
unnecessary extra costs, I have no doubt they are there.
