// Internally, we track the write index which indicates what slot should be written by the next
// writer. This works fine as writers race via CAS to "acquire" a slot to write to. The
// trouble comes when attempting to read written values, as writers may still have writes
// in-flight, thus leading to potential uninitialized reads, UB, and the world imploding.
//
// We use a simple scheme where writers acknowledge their writes by setting a bit in `read`
// that corresponds to the index that they've written. For example, a write at index 5 being
// complete can be verified by checking if `1 << 5` in `read` is set. This allows writers to
// concurrently update `read` despite non-sequential indexes.
//
// Additionally, an optimization is then available where finding the longest sequential run of
// initialized slots can be trivially calculated by getting the number of trailing ones in
// `read`. This allows reading the "length" of initialized values in constant time, without
// blocking.
//
// This optimization does mean, however, that the simplest implementation is limited to block
// sizes that match the number of bits available in the target platform pointer size. A
// potential future optimization could use const generics to size an array of read bitmap
// atomics such that the total sum of the bits could be efficiently utilized, although this
// would involve more complex logic to read all of the atomics.
