// calling DescriptorPool::BuildFile() for each one.  Instead, a DescriptorPool
// can be created which wraps a DescriptorDatabase and only builds particular
// descriptors when they are needed.

// FindFileContainingSymbol() is fully-implemented.  When you add a file, its
// symbols will be indexed for this purpose.  Note that the implementation
// may return false positives, but only if it isn't possible for the symbol
// to be defined in any other file.  In particular, if a file defines a symbol
// "Foo", then searching for "Foo.[anything]" will match that file.  This way,
// the database does not need to aggressively index all children of a symbol.
//
// FindFileContainingExtension() is mostly-implemented.  It works if and only
// if the original FieldDescriptorProto defining the extension has a
// fully-qualified type name in its "extendee" field (i.e. starts with a '.').
// If the extendee is a relative name, SimpleDescriptorDatabase will not
// attempt to resolve the type, so it will not know what type the extension is
// extending.  Therefore, calling FindFileContainingExtension() with the
// extension's containing type will never actually find that extension.  Note
// that this is an unlikely problem, as all FileDescriptorProtos created by the
// protocol compiler (as well as ones created by calling
// FileDescriptor::CopyTo()) will always use fully-qualified names for all
// types.  You only need to worry if you are constructing FileDescriptorProtos

    // prefixes of other symbols in the map.  For example, "foo.bar" is a
    // prefix of "foo.bar.baz" (but is not a prefix of "foo.barbaz").
    //
    // This invariant is important because it means that given a symbol name,
    // we can find a key in the map which is a prefix of the symbol in O(lg n)
    // time, and we know that there is at most one such key.
    //
    // The prefix lookup algorithm works like so:
    // 1) Find the last key in the map which is less than or equal to the
    //    search key.
    // 2) If the found key is a prefix of the search key, then return it.
    //    Otherwise, there is no match.
    //
    // I am sure this algorithm has been described elsewhere, but since I
    // wasn't able to find it quickly I will instead prove that it works
    // myself.  The key to the algorithm is that if a match exists, step (1)
    // will find it.  Proof:
    // 1) Define the "search key" to be the key we are looking for, the "found
    //    key" to be the key found in step (1), and the "match key" to be the
    //    key which actually matches the serach key (i.e. the key we're trying
    //    to find).
    // 2) The found key must be less than or equal to the search key by
    //    definition.
    // 3) The match key must also be less than or equal to the search key
    //    (because it is a prefix).
    // 4) The match key cannot be greater than the found key, because if it
    //    were, then step (1) of the algorithm would have returned the match
    //    key instead (since it finds the *greatest* key which is less than or
    //    equal to the search key).
    // 5) Therefore, the found key must be between the match key and the search
    //    key, inclusive.
    // 6) Since the search key must be a sub-symbol of the match key, if it is
    //    not equal to the match key, then search_key[match_key.size()] must
    //    be '.'.
    // 7) Since '.' sorts before any other character that is valid in a symbol
    //    name, then if the found key is not equal to the match key, then
    //    found_key[match_key.size()] must also be '.', because any other value
    //    would make it sort after the search key.
    // 8) Therefore, if the found key is not equal to the match key, then the
    //    found key must be a sub-symbol of the match key.  However, this would
    //    contradict our map invariant which says that no symbol in the map is
    //    a sub-symbol of any other.
    // 9) Therefore, the found key must match the match key.
    //
    // The above proof assumes the match key exists.  In the case that the
    // match key does not exist, then step (1) will return some other symbol.
    // That symbol cannot be a super-symbol of the search key since if it were,
    // then it would be a match, and we're assuming the match key doesn't exist.
    // Therefore, step 2 will correctly return no match.
