-// Normally, keys are looked up in-order. For performance we can simply
-// increment this key counter, and if the key is equal to the key at the next
-// index, there's no need to do any lookups. However, it's possible for keys
-// to be accessed out-of-order or multiple times, in which case we start
-// searching again from index 0.
-// To prevent infinite loops (which can occur if you look up a key that
-// doesn't exist) we keep track of whether or not we've already looped around,
-// and log and return nullptr if so. However, we ONLY do this in debug mode,
-// where you're more likely to look up a nonexistent key as part of debugging.
-// You can (and must) ensure infinite loops are not possible in production by:
-// (1) constructing all props objects without conditionals, or (2) if there
-// are conditionals, ensure that in the parsing setup case, the Props
-// constructor will access _all_ possible props. To ensure this performance
-// optimization is utilized, always access props in the same order every time.
-// This is trivial if you have a simple Props constructor, but difficult or
-// impossible if you have a shared sub-prop Struct that is used by multiple
-// parent Props.
