Towards Systematic Index Dynamization

Summary: A C++20 metaprogramming framework systematically dynamizes static, domain-specific indexes, addressing Bentley–Saxe limits on deletions, query types, and tuning. Four case studies expose configurable query/update trade-offs and narrow the gap to deployment. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
