With perfect I mean an alternative way for storing large trees using a
method that will outdo the following common methods:
- adjacency method (easy but query intensive)
- Materialized path
- Joe Celko Nested Sets (or MPTT which has slow updates)
- Tropashko's Nested Intervals with Continued Fractions (that does not
size well to both fat and high trees)
