with Eduard's suggestion this also becomes interesting when you have 000mmm mix (as one example), because that gives you a small range, and all values might be valid keys for arrays
Can you define what "small range" means? What range is there with 0's? Any pointers would be helpful.
I think Andrii means that each 'm' adds 8 bits of range. E.g. range for 0000_000m is 0-255, range for 0000_00mm is 0-65535, etc.
yes, exactly, thank you, Eduard!
Gave it some thought. Still seems like a good idea, but I'd prefer to leave this extension for a separate patchset. Mostly b/c I'm running out of space in my head to grok everything :P. Probably higher likelihood of me getting the existing stuff correct if I don't add more scope.
Thanks, Daniel
