 * This class provides a simple, read-only key-value string store, with all
 * data packed into a single segment of memory, which can be shared between
 * processes.
 *
 * Look-ups are performed by binary search of a static table in the mapped
 * memory region, and all returned strings are literals which reference the
 * mapped data. No copies are performed on instantiation or look-up.
 *
 * Important: The mapped memory created by this class is persistent. Once an
 * instance has been initialized, the memory that it allocates can never be
 * freed before process shutdown. Do not use it for short-lived mappings.
