`Index` was public, `History::intern` and `History::lookup` returned
one, and no public method anywhere accepted one. It was a handle with
nowhere to go — and `key_table.rs` advertised the hot-path story it was
meant to enable ("power users can promote `&K` to `Index` and skip the
lookup"), which was never reachable through the public API.
It also shadowed `std::ops::Index`, which `CompetitorStore` implements,
so `use trueskill_tt::*` alongside `use std::ops::*` collided.
All three are `pub(crate)` now. `intern` stays internal because
ingestion needs it; `lookup` is gone entirely, since `current_skill`,
`rating` and `learning_curve` already answer "does this history know
this key" and all three take a borrowed key.
The three tests that used them asserted things a caller cannot observe.
They now assert what the interning bought:
- `record_winner_creates_two_competitors` compares posteriors instead of
comparing two opaque indices for inequality.
- `intern_is_idempotent` becomes `a_repeated_key_is_one_competitor` — a
key appearing in two events gives one competitor with a two-point
learning curve, which is the observable form of the same claim.
- `lookup_returns_none_for_missing` becomes `an_unknown_key_is_unknown`.
Closes#73.
