PMTs with flatbuffers and modern C++
summary
Rewrites PMT APIs around flatbuffers and modern C++ into a standalone project that exposes STL-like API types: scalar, uniform vector, and string-keyed map that can hold nested PMTs. Flatbuffers gives schema-backed serialization, forward-compatible structure evolution and language bindings; benchmarks show vector serialization is faster up to about 18,000 elements (one extra copy remains to fix) and map lookups drop from linear linked-list scans to logarithmic STL map performance. Plans include full string support, PMT-of-PMT vectors, and GNURadio integration.
