// Package id provides helpers for working with node-oriented data structures
// (such as ASTs and graphs) using compressed pointers (IDs).
//
// The whole data structure is represented by some kind of [Context] type; nodes
// of different types which that data structure are represented by [ID]s which
// index into the [Context]. The actual data of each node is stored in an
// unexported type in the package that defines it, and the exported version is
// a type based on [Node], which provides all of the helpers necessary
// for a consistent node type interface, such as IsZero, ID, and Context.
//
// [Dyn] is a variant on [ID] that is heavier but allows for storing extra
// data in addition to the ID value itself, such as type information.
