## Aristo DB -- a Patricia Trie with labeled edges
## ===============================================
##
## These data structures allow to overlay the *Patricia Trie* with *Merkel
## Trie* hashes. See the `README.md` in the `aristo` folder for documentation.
##
## Some semantic explanations;
##
## * HashKey, NodeRef etc. refer to the standard/legacy `Merkle Patricia Tree`
## * VertexID, VertexRef, etc. refer to the `Aristo Trie`
