-- We save positional information in the main utility table. Not only can we store
-- much more information in Lua but it's also more efficient. In the meantime these
-- files have become quite large. In some cases that get noticed by a hickup in the
-- start and/or finish, but that is the price we pay for progress.
--
-- This was the last module that got rid of directly setting scanners, with a little
-- performance degradation but not that noticeable. It is also a module that has been
-- on the (partial) redo list for a while.
--
-- We can gain a little when we group positions but then we still have to deal with
-- regions and cells so we either end up with lots of extra small tables pointing to
-- them and/or assembling/disassembling. I played with that and rejected the idea
-- until I ran into a test case where we had 50.000 one line paragraphs in an eight
-- columns setup, and there we save 25 M on a 75 M tuc file. So, I played a bit more
-- and we can have a solution that is of similar performance for regular documents
-- (in spite of the extra overhead) but also works ok for the large files. In normal
-- documents it is never a problem, but there are always exceptions to the normal and
-- often these are also cases where positions are not really used but end up in the
-- tuc file anyway.
--
-- Currently (because we never had split tags) we do splitting at access time, which
-- is sort of inefficient but still ok. Much of this mechanism comes from MkII where
-- TeX was the bottleneck.
--
-- By grouping we need to set more metatable so in the end that is also overhead
-- but on the average we're okay because excessive serialization also comes at a price
-- and this way we also delay some activities till the moment it is realy used (which
-- is not always the case with positional information. We will make this transition
-- stepwise so till we're done there will be inefficiencies and overhead.
--
-- The pure hash based variant combined with filtering is in anch-pos.lua and previous
-- lmt versions! That is the reference.
