		Bayesian Context Trees for Discrete Sequence Data // Models
		discrete sequential data using Bayesian Context Trees. Context
		trees, also known as Variable Length Markov Chains (VLMCs), are
		parsimonious Markov models where the order of dependence can
		vary with the observed past. Provides a generic 'R6' class
		structure that exposes the full tree for building custom
		algorithms, exact Bayesian inference via a bottom-up recursive
		algorithm (closed-form marginal likelihood, Maximum A
		Posteriori (MAP) tree, exact posterior probabilities, and exact
		sampling from the posterior), a frequentist estimator via the
		context algorithm with likelihood-ratio pruning, simulation
		utilities, and a Metropolis-Hastings sampler. See Paulichen and
		Freguglia (2026) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2603.25806.
