+ * Merged tables
+ *
+ * A ref database kept in a sequence of table files. The merged_table presents a
+ * unified view to reading (seeking, iterating) a sequence of immutable tables.
+ *
+ * The merged tables are on purpose kept disconnected from their actual storage
+ * (eg. files on disk), because it is useful to merge tables aren't files. For
+ * example, the per-workspace and global ref namespace can be implemented as a
+ * merged table of two stacks of file-backed reftables.
