    """BTree lengths are often too expensive to compute.

    Objects that use BTrees need to keep track of lengths themselves.
    This class provides an object for doing this.

    As a bonus, the object support application-level conflict
    resolution.

    It is tempting to to assign length objects to __len__ attributes
    to provide instance-specific __len__ methods.  However, this no
    longer works as expected, because new-style classes cache
    class-defined slot methods (like __len__) in C type slots.  Thus,
    instance-defined slot fillers are ignored.
