/* index_matcher compares a sequence of elements against a
 * base sequence, identifying those elements that belong to the
 * longest subsequence which is ordered with respect to the base.
 * For instance, if the base sequence is:
 *
 *   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
 *
 * and the compared sequence (not necesarilly the same length):
 *
 *   1 4 2 3 0 7 8 9
 *
 * the elements of the longest ordered subsequence are:
 *
 *   1 2 3 7 8 9
 * 
 * The algorithm for obtaining such a subsequence is called
 * Patience Sorting, described in ch. 1 of:
 *   Aldous, D., Diaconis, P.: "Longest increasing subsequences: from
 *   patience sorting to the Baik-Deift-Johansson Theorem", Bulletin
 *   of the American Mathematical Society, vol. 36, no 4, pp. 413-432,
 *   July 1999.

 *   S0273-0979-99-00796-X.pdf
 *
 * This implementation is not fully generic since it assumes that
 * the sequences given are pointed to by index iterators (having a
 * get_node() memfun.)
