// unionInPlace stores the union of b and others into b. The others will

// This function performs an n-way union of n bitmaps. It performs this in an
// optimized manner looping through all the bitmaps and performing unions one
// container at a time. As a result, instead of generating many intermediary
// containers for each union operation for a given container key, only one
// new container needs to be allocated (or re-used) regardless of how many bitmaps
// participate in the union. This significantly reduces allocations. In addition,
// because we perform the unions one container at a time across all the bitmaps, we
// can calculate summary statistics that allow us to make more efficient decisions
// up front. For instance, if we have a non-bitmap target container, but we
// expect more than ArrayMaxSize bits, we can convert to bitmap preemptively.
// This will sometimes be wrong (we can't really tell how many bits we'll have
// after a union) but is probably close enough to be useful. This will save
// some reallocations for cases where several consecutive ops have array
// representations, and we expect to have to convert to a bitmap eventually;
// we don't allocate larger and larger array slices before doing that.
//
// An additional optimization that this function makes is that it recognizes that even when
// CPU support is present, performing the popcount() operation isn't free. Imagine a scenario
// where 10 bitset containers are being unioned together one after the next. If every
// bitset<->bitset union operation needs to keep the containers' cardinality up to date, then
// the algorithm will waste a lot of time performing intermediary popcount() operations that
// will immediately be invalidated by the next union operation. As a result, we allow the cardinality
// of containers to degrade when we perform the in-place union operations, and then when the algorithm
// completes we "repair" all the containers by performing the popcount() operation one time. This means
// that we only ever have to do O(1) popcount operations per container instead of O(n) where n is the
// number of containers with the same key that are being unioned together.
//
// The algorithm works by iterating through all of the containers in all of the bitmaps concurrently.
// At every "tick" of the outermost loop, we increment our pointer into the bitmaps list of containers
// by 1 (if we haven't reached the end of the containers for that bitmap.)
//
// We then loop through all of the "current" values(containers) for all of the bitmaps
// and for each container with a specific key that we encounter, we scan forward to see if any of the
// other bitmaps have a container for the same key. If so, we calculate some summary statistics and
// then use that information to make a decision about how to union all of the containers with the same
// key together, perform the union, mark the unioned containers as "handled" and then move on to the next
// batch of containers that share the same key.
//
// We repeat this process until every single bitmaps current container has been "handled". Then we start the
// outer loop over again and the process repeats until we've iterated through every container in every bitmap
// and unioned everything into a single target bitmap.
//
// The diagram below shows the iteration state of four different bitmaps as the algorithm progresses them.
// The diagrams should BE interpreted from left -> right, top -> bottom. The X's represent a container in
// the bitmap at a specific key,  ^ symbol represents the bitmaps current container iteration position,
// and the - symbol represents a container that is at the current iteration position, but has been marked as "handled".
