+redb uses MVCC to isolate transactions from one another. This is implemented on top of the copy-on-write
+b-tree data structure which underlies most of redb. Read transactions make a private copy of the root
 of the b-tree, and are registered in the database so that no pages that root references are freed.
 When a write transaction frees a page it is pushed into a queue, and only reused after all read transactions
 that could reference it have completed.
