    """Uses the same strategy as
      ``adjacency_list.py``, but associates each   DOM row with its owning
      document row, so that a full document of DOM nodes can be loaded
      using O(1) queries - the construction of the "hierarchy" is performed
      after the load in a non-recursive fashion and is more
      efficient.
