/* gl_oset is an abstract ordered set data type.  It can contain any number
   of objects ('void *' or 'const void *' pointers) in the order of a given
   comparator function.  Duplicates (in the sense of the comparator) are
   forbidden.

   There are several implementations of this ordered set datatype, optimized
   for different operations or for memory.  You can start using the simplest
   ordered set implementation, GL_ARRAY_OSET, and switch to a different
   implementation later, when you realize which operations are performed
   the most frequently.  The API of the different implementations is exactly
   the same; when switching to a different implementation, you only have to
   change the gl_oset_create call.

   The implementations are:
     GL_ARRAY_OSET        a growable array
     GL_AVLTREE_OSET      a binary tree (AVL tree)
     GL_RBTREE_OSET       a binary tree (red-black tree)

   The memory consumption is asymptotically the same: O(1) for every object
   in the set.  When looking more closely at the average memory consumed
   for an object, GL_ARRAY_OSET is the most compact representation, and
   GL_AVLTREE_OSET, GL_RBTREE_OSET need more memory.

   The guaranteed average performance of the operations is, for a set of
   n elements:

   Operation                  ARRAY     TREE

   gl_oset_size                O(1)     O(1)
   gl_oset_add                 O(n)   O(log n)
   gl_oset_remove              O(n)   O(log n)
   gl_oset_search            O(log n) O(log n)
   gl_oset_search_atleast    O(log n) O(log n)
   gl_oset_iterator            O(1)   O(log n)
   gl_oset_iterator_next       O(1)   O(log n)
