// lazyIOR is described (not yet implemented) in
// this nice note from @lemire on
// https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/roaring/pull/70#issuecomment-263613737
//
// Description of lazyOR and lazyIOR from @lemire:
//
// Lazy functions are optional and can be simply
// wrapper around non-lazy functions.
//
// The idea of "laziness" is as follows. It is
// inspired by the concept of lazy evaluation
// you might be familiar with (functional programming
// and all that). So a roaring bitmap is
// such that all its containers are, in some
// sense, chosen to use as little memory as
// possible. This is nice. Also, all bitsets
// are "cardinality aware" so that you can do
// fast rank/select queries, or query the
// cardinality of the whole bitmap... very fast,
// without latency.
//
// However, imagine that you are aggregating 100
// bitmaps together. So you OR the first two, then OR
// that with the third one and so forth. Clearly,
// intermediate bitmaps don't need to be as
// compressed as possible, right? They can be
// in a "dirty state". You only need the end
// result to be in a nice state... which you
// can achieve by calling repairAfterLazy at the end.
//
// The Java/C code does something special for
// the in-place lazy OR runs. The idea is that
// instead of taking two run containers and
// generating a new one, we actually try to
// do the computation in-place through a
// technique invented by @gssiyankai (pinging him!).
// What you do is you check whether the host
// run container has lots of extra capacity.
// If it does, you move its data at the end of
// the backing array, and then you write
// the answer at the beginning. What this
// trick does is minimize memory allocations.
