 *
 * Allocation of unique IDs tied to a value.
 *
 * The idtable provides an automatic generation of unique IDs that fit
 * into a specified amount of bits.
 *
 * IDs are associated with a value that can be quickly retrieved by its ID,
 * and the value can be changed at will.
 *
 * The allocation strategy used for new IDs prevents reusing an older ID until
 * we have allocated (and possibly already freed) all the other available IDs
 * in the defined ID space.  This helps detection of stale IDs and enables
 * allocation of temporally unique IDs.
