(** Heterogenous maps over a GADT.

    The motivation for this library originated in the area of parsing binary
    network protocols, which often contain options and extensions in the form of
    tag, length, value encodings: the set of tags and corresponding values is
    specified in some Internet standard, and later extended by using a global
    registry.  Examples are IP options, TCP options, DNS resource records, TLS
    hello extensions, X.509v3 extensions, ... These extension mechanisms usually
    include the invariant that each tag may only be present once.

    A more naive approach is to use a variant type of all known tag-value
    combinations and storing these in an association list while parsing, but
    verifying the uniqueness invariant takes quadratic ([O(n^2)]) time, and
    retrieving a specific option is only doable in linear [O(n)] time.
    Additionally, packing and unpacking is required with the variant type
    solution.

    In gmap, {{:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_algebraic_data_type}GADTs}
    are used to provide key-dependent value types: each GADT constructor carries
    their value type.  The underlying storage mechanism uses OCaml's stdlib
    {{:http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Map.html}Map} type:
    Lookup takes [O(log n)] time.  The above mentioned uniqueness invariant can
    be preserved while constructing the gmap if for insertion into the map only
    {!S.update} and {!S.add_unless_bound} are used ({!S.add} replaces the
    existing binding if present).

    A small example:

{[
type _ key =
  | I : int key
  | S : string key

module K = struct
  type 'a t = 'a key

  let compare : type a b. a t -> b t -> (a, b) Gmap.Order.t = fun t t' ->
    let open Gmap.Order in
    match t, t' with
    | I, I -> Eq | I, _ -> Lt | _, I -> Gt
    | S, S -> Eq
end

module GM = Gmap.Make(K)
]}

    Using [GM] is done as follows:

{[
match GM.find I (GM.singleton I 10) with
| Some x -> x * x
| None -> 0
]}

    {e 0.3.0 - {{:https://github.com/hannesm/gmap }homepage}} *)

(** Ordering. *)
module Order : sig

  (** The ordering type embedding type equality for [Eq]. *)
  type (_,_) t =
    | Lt : ('a, 'b) t
    | Eq : ('a, 'a) t
    | Gt : ('a, 'b) t
end

(** Key. *)
module type KEY = sig

  type _ t
  (** The type of a key *)

  val compare : 'a t -> 'b t -> ('a, 'b) Order.t
  (** [compare k k'] is the total order of keys. *)
end

  val add : 'a key -> 'a -> t -> t
  (** [add key value m] returns a map containing the same bindings as [m], plus

      previous binding disappears. *)

  val remove : 'a key -> t -> t
  (** [remove key m] returns a map containing the same bindings as [m], except
      for [key] which is not bound in the returned map.  If [key] was not bound

  val update : 'a key -> ('a option -> 'a option) -> t -> t
  (** [update k f m] returns a map containing the same bindings as [m], except

      binding [b] has been replaced by the result of the application of [f] to
      [b]. The bindings are passed to [f] in increasing order with respect to
      the ordering over the type of the keys. *)

      type of the keys. *)
