Layout tree addressing system
Description
This MR adds an addressing system to the layout tree. I am not satisfied with the result, so I will step back come back to it later. The key ideas are:
- An address object can be constructed from a node with
address(node)
or from numbers withaddress<vfat> { numbers... }
. - The node at an address can be retrieved with
root % address
(actual operator subject to change, maybe/
).
This branch will probably be edited several times before merging.
