// GenericHeap requires 1 template argument:
// Pair will normally be either KDPairInc<Key, Data> or KDPairDec<Key, Data>
// for some arbitrary Key and scalar, smart pointer, or non-ownership pointer
// Data type, according to whether a MIN heap or a MAX heap is desired,
// respectively. Using KDPtrPairInc<Key, Data> or KDPtrPairDec<Key, Data>,
// GenericHeap can also handle simple Data pointers and own them.
// If no additional data is required, Pair can also be a scalar, since
// GenericHeap doesn't look inside it except for operator<.
//
// The heap is stored as a packed binary tree in an array hosted by a
// GenericVector<Pair>, with the invariant that the children of each node are
// both NOT Pair::operator< the parent node. KDPairInc defines Pair::operator<
// to use Key::operator< to generate a MIN heap and KDPairDec defines
// Pair::operator< to use Key::operator> to generate a MAX heap by reversing
// all the comparisons.
// See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure) for more detail on
// the basic heap implementation.
//
// Insertion and removal are both O(log n) and, unlike the STL heap, an
// explicit Reshuffle function allows a node to be repositioned in time O(log n)
// after changing its value.
//
// Accessing the element for revaluation is a more complex matter, since the
// index and pointer can be changed arbitrarily by heap operations.
// Revaluation can be done by making the Data type in the Pair derived from or
// contain a DoublePtr as its first data element, making it possible to convert
// the pointer to a Pair using KDPairInc::RecastDataPointer.
