    * Two equivalent algorithms, picked by period. Their outputs are
    * bit-identical; only the scan strategy differs:
    *
    * - Small periods (<= 20): rescan the whole window on every bar.
    *   The two independent comparison chains auto-vectorize on modern
    *   compilers, which beats any per-bar bookkeeping while the window
    *   is short. The threshold sits near the measured crossover
    *   (~period 19-20 with gcc/clang -O3 on x86-64).
    *
    * - Larger periods: cache the highest high/lowest low with its
    *   index; a rescan of the window is needed only when the cached
    *   extremum drops out of the window (amortized O(1) per bar
    *   instead of O(period)).
