+"""
+This tool estimates how much space would be consumed by a filetree into which
+a native directory was copied.
+
+One open question is how we should encode directories. One approach is to put
+a block of data on a server, one per directory, which effectively contains a
+dictionary that maps child names to targets (URIs for children which are
+files, slotnames for children which are directories). To prevent the server
+which hosts this data from either learning its contents or corrupting them,
+we can add encryption and integrity checks to the data, at the cost of
+storage overhead.
+
+This program is intended to estimate the size of these data blocks using
+real-world filenames and directories. You point it at a real directory, and
+it does a recursive walk of the filesystem, adding up the size of the
+filetree data structures that would be required to represent it.
+
+MODES:
+
+ A: no confidentiality or integrity checking. Directories are serialized
+    plaintext dictionaries which map file/subdir names to targets (either
+    URIs or slotnames). Each entry can be changed independently.
+ B1: child names and targets are encrypted. No integrity checks, so the
+     server can still corrupt the contents undetectably. Each entry can
+     still be changed independently.
+ B2: same security properties as B1, but the dictionary is serialized before
+     encryption. This reduces overhead at the cost of preventing independent
+     updates of entries (all entries must be updated at the same time, so
+     test-and-set operations are required to avoid data-losing races)
+ C1: like B1, but adding HMACs to each entry to guarantee data integrity
+ C2: like B2, but adding a single block-wide HMAC for data integrity
