This is a usable version of the package. It has:
* branch reading into arrays with all three types of compression (zlib, lzma, lz4);
* full control over dtype conversion during the copy from the file into arrays;
* variable-length string reading (`TLeafC`);
* memory-mapped files, regular file reading, and XRootD;
* conveniences for querying directory objects, subdirectories, branch names, branch-to-counter associations, etc;
* parallel basket reading and decompression, which accelerates lzma;
