 * `SimpleSmt`: a Sparse Merkle Tree, mapping 63-bit keys to 4-element leaf values.
 * `MerklePathSet`: a collection of Merkle authentication paths all resolving to the same root. The length of the paths can be at most 64.
+* `MerkleStore`: a collection of Merkle trees of different heights designed to efficiently store trees with common subtrees.
 
 The module also contains additional supporting components such as `NodeIndex`, `MerklePath`,  and `MerkleError`  to assist with tree indexation, opening proofs, and reporting inconsistent arguments/state.
