### New Features

 - `State::path_backing()`.
   That way it's possible to call certain methods that take a separate
   path buffer.
 - support for separating lifetimes of entries and path-backing
   This way it should be possible to access paths immutably even while
   entries are available mutably, assuming we stagger accesses to put
   mutation of entries last.
