Eh, you underestimate my naivety. To rephrase: are these just array indexes, then?

I mean I presume it's something cleverer than just "let's bit-pack our indexes to save space".

..."and make it dynamic" (arenas)

Oh wait, variable-size tiny pointers. Yes. Now it's getting satisfyingly complicated. Maybe like how UTF-8 works?
