/* Discussion: Why is Index a uint32_t instead of size_t (or uint_fast32_t)?
 *
 * size_t is a more appropriate choice than uint32_t as the choice is dictated
 * by uniqueness in arrays and vectors. These correspond to size_t. However, the
 * using size_t with a sizeof == 8 on 64 bit platforms is noticeably slower.
 * (Limited testing suggests a ~1/16 of running time.) Interestingly,
 * uint_fast32_t also has a sizeof == 8 on x86_64.
