// Package b implements the B+tree flavor of a BTree.
//
// Changelog
//
// 2014-06-26: Lower GC presure by recycling things.
//
// 2014-04-18: Added new method Put.
//
// Generic types
//
// Keys and their associated values are interface{} typed, similar to all of
// the containers in the standard library.
//
// Semiautomatic production of a type specific variant of this package is
// supported via
//
//	$ make generic
//
// This command will write to stdout a version of the btree.go file where every
// key type occurrence is replaced by the word 'KEY' and every value type
// occurrence is replaced by the word 'VALUE'. Then you have to replace these
// tokens with your desired type(s), using any technique you're comfortable
// with.
//
// This is how, for example, 'example/int.go' was created:
//
//	$ mkdir example
//	$ make generic | sed -e 's/KEY/int/g' -e 's/VALUE/int/g' > example/int.go
//
// No other changes to int.go are necessary, it compiles just fine.
//
// Running the benchmarks for 1000 keys on a machine with Intel i5-4670 CPU @
// 3.4GHz, Go release 1.4.2.
