@kragen @zooko Crit-bit trees (2 control words per string) are more streamlined than PATRICIA trees (5 control words per string).

If you're not tied to hash tables then I recommend crit-bit trees. See also http://cr.yp.to/talks.html#2012.10.22 ("Data-structure lock-in"). @zooko

@hashbreaker BTW, why do you call them crit-bit trees instead of Patricia trees? Is there a difference? cc @zooko
