* Class for efficiently looking up and mapping string keys to string values, with limits.

/**
* WP_Token_Map class.
*
* Use this class in specific circumstances with a static set of lookup keys which map to
* a static set of transformed values. For example, this class is used to map HTML named
* character references to their equivalent UTF-8 values.
*
* This class works differently than code calling `in_array()` and other methods. It
* internalizes lookup logic and provides helper interfaces to optimize lookup and
* transformation. It provides a method for precomputing the lookup tables and storing
* them as PHP source code.
*
* All tokens and substitutions must be shorter than 256 bytes.
*
* Example:
*
* $smilies = WP_Token_Map::from_array( array(
* '8O' => 'π―',
* ':(' => 'π',
* ':)' => 'π',
* ':?' => 'π',
* ) );
*
* true === $smilies->contains( ':)' );
* false === $smilies->contains( 'simile' );
*
* 'π' === $smilies->read_token( 'Not sure :?.', 9, $length_of_smily_syntax );
* 2 === $length_of_smily_syntax;
*
* ## Precomputing the Token Map.
*
* Creating the class involves some work sorting and organizing the tokens and their
* replacement values. In order to skip this, it's possible for the class to export
* its state and be used as actual PHP source code.
*
* Example:
*
* // Export with four spaces as the indent, only for the sake of this docblock.
* // The default indent is a tab character.
* $indent = ' ';
* echo $smilies->precomputed_php_source_table( $indent );
*
* // Output, to be pasted into a PHP source file:
* WP_Token_Map::from_precomputed_table(
* array(
* "storage_version" => "6.6.0",
* "key_length" => 2,
* "groups" => "",
* "long_words" => array(),
* "small_words" => "8O\x00:)\x00:(\x00:?\x00",
* "small_mappings" => array( "π―", "π", "π", "π" )
* )
* );
*
* ## Large vs. small words.
*
* This class uses a short prefix called the "key" to optimize lookup of its tokens.
* This means that some tokens may be shorter than or equal in length to that key.
* Those words that are longer than the key are called "large" while those shorter
* than or equal to the key length are called "small."
*
* This separation of large and small words is incidental to the way this class
* optimizes lookup, and should be considered an internal implementation detail
* of the class. It may still be important to be aware of it, however.
*
* ## Determining Key Length.
*
* The choice of the size of the key length should be based on the data being stored in
* the token map. It should divide the data as evenly as possible, but should not create
* so many groups that a large fraction of the groups only contain a single token.
*
* For the HTML5 named character references, a key length of 2 was found to provide a
* sufficient spread and should be a good default for relatively large sets of tokens.
*
* However, for some data sets this might be too long. For example, a list of smilies
* may be too small for a key length of 2. Perhaps 1 would be more appropriate. It's
* best to experiment and determine empirically which values are appropriate.
*
* ## Generate Pre-Computed Source Code.
*
* Since the `WP_Token_Map` is designed for relatively static lookups, it can be
* advantageous to precompute the values and instantiate a table that has already
* sorted and grouped the tokens and built the lookup strings.
*
* This can be done with `WP_Token_Map::precomputed_php_source_table()`.
*
* Note that if there is a leading character that all tokens need, such as `&` for
* HTML named character references, it can be beneficial to exclude this from the
* token map. Instead, find occurrences of the leading character and then use the
* token map to see if the following characters complete the token.
*
* Example:
*
* $map = WP_Token_Map::from_array( array( 'simple_smile:' => 'π', 'sob:' => 'π', 'soba:' => 'π' ) );
* echo $map->precomputed_php_source_table();
* // Output
* WP_Token_Map::from_precomputed_table(
* array(
* "storage_version" => "6.6.0",
* "key_length" => 2,
* "groups" => "si\x00so\x00",
* "long_words" => array(
* // simple_smile:[π].
* "\x0bmple_smile:\x04π",
* // soba:[π] sob:[π].
* "\x03ba:\x04π\x02b:\x04π",
* ),
* "short_words" => "",
* "short_mappings" => array()
* }
* );
*
* This precomputed value can be stored directly in source code and will skip the
* startup cost of generating the lookup strings. See `$html5_named_character_entities`.
*
* Note that any updates to the precomputed format should update the storage version
* constant. It would also be best to provide an update function to take older known
* versions and upgrade them in place when loading into `from_precomputed_table()`.
*
* ## Future Direction.
*
* It may be viable to dynamically increase the length limits such that there's no need to impose them.
* The limit appears because of the packing structure, which indicates how many bytes each segment of
* text in the lookup tables spans. If, however, care were taken to track the longest word length, then
* the packing structure could change its representation to allow for that. Each additional byte storing
* length, however, increases the memory overhead and lookup runtime.
*
* An alternative approach could be to borrow the UTF-8 variable-length encoding and store lengths of less
* than 127 as a single byte with the high bit unset, storing longer lengths as the combination of
* continuation bytes.
*
* Since it has not been shown during the development of this class that longer strings are required, this
* update is deferred until such a need is clear.

* In this example, the key `CenterDot;` has a group key `Ce`, leaving

* $large_words = array( "\x08nterDot;\x02Β·\x06dilla;\x02ΒΈ" )
*
* The prefixes appear in the `$groups` string, each followed by a null

* is found, and then a simple division converts that offset into the index
