/**

 * @defgroup nodestore NodeStore
 *
 * @brief Stores the nodes in the address space. Internally, it is based on a
 * hash-map that maps nodes to their nodeid.
 *
 * Nodes need to be allocated on the heap before adding them to the nodestore
 * with. When adding, the node is copied to a new (managed) location in the
 * nodestore and the original memory is freed. The nodes in the nodestore are
 * immutable. To change the content of a node, it needs to be replaced as a
 * whole.
 *
 * Every node you _get from the nodestore needs to be _released when it is no
 * longer needed. In the background, reference counting is used to know if
 * somebody still uses the node in multi-threaded environments.
