-     * Multiple options were considered when choosing the most appropriate data
-     * structure for this container. Here follows a summary of why vector<bool>
-     * has been chosen, taking as a reference a snapshot partition of 4 GiB and
-     * chunk size of 4 KiB.
-     * - std::set<uint64_t> is very space-efficient for a small number of
-     *   operations, but if the whole snapshot is changed, it would need to
-     *   store
-     *     4 GiB / 4 KiB * (64 bit / 8) = 8 MiB
-     *   just for the data, plus the additional data overhead for the red-black
-     *   tree used for data sorting (if each rb-tree element stores 3 address
-     *   and the word-aligne color, the total size grows to 32 MiB).
-     * - std::bitset<N> is not a good fit because requires a priori knowledge,
-     *   at compile time, of the bitset size.
-     * - std::vector<bool> is a special case of vector, which uses a data
-     *   compression that allows reducing the space utilization of each element
-     *   to 1 bit. In detail, this data structure is composed of a resizable
-     *   array of words, each of them representing a bitmap. On a 64 bit
-     *   device, modifying the whole 4 GiB snapshot grows this container up to
-     *     4 * GiB / 4 KiB / 64 = 64 KiB
-     *   that, even if is the same space requirement to change a single byte at
-     *   the highest address of the snapshot, is a very affordable space
-     *   requirement.
