As we work our way towards the fall, you're probably already looking forward to getting your electric heated blanket out of the closet. And if you don't already own one, now is the time to start shopping for one. But like other blankets, they do need some upkeep -- and things get more complicated when there is electricity involved.

My initial sketch was more complicated and greedy for space than necessary, so here’s a simplified revision. (“p” now stands for prefix.) A p-fast trie stores a lexicographically ordered set of names
