/** Distributed property map adaptor.
 *
 *  The distributed property map adaptor is a property map whose
 *  stored values are distributed across multiple non-overlapping
 *  memory spaces on different processes. Values local to the current
 *  process are stored within a local property map and may be
 *  immediately accessed via @c get and @c put. Values stored on
 *  remote processes may also be access via @c get and @c put, but the
 *  behavior differs slightly:
 *
 *  - @c put operations update a local ghost cell and send a "put"
 *    message to the process that owns the value. The owner is free to
 *    update its own "official" value or may ignore the put request.
 *
 *  - @c get operations returns the contents of the local ghost
 *    cell. If no ghost cell is available, one is created using the
 *    default value provided by the "reduce" operation. See, e.g.,
 *    @ref basic_reduce and @ref property_reduce.
 *
 * Using distributed property maps requires a bit more care than using
 * local, sequential property maps. While the syntax and semantics are
 * similar, distributed property maps may contain out-of-date
 * information that can only be guaranteed to be synchronized by
 * calling the @ref synchronize function in all processes.
 *
 * To address the issue of out-of-date values, distributed property
 * maps are supplied with a reduction operation. The reduction
 * operation has two roles:
 *
 *   -# When a value is needed for a remote key but no value is
 *      immediately available, the reduction operation provides a
 *      suitable default. For instance, a distributed property map
 *      storing distances may have a reduction operation that returns
 *      an infinite value as the default, whereas a distributed
 *      property map for vertex colors may return white as the
 *      default.
 *
 *   -# When a value is received from a remote process, the process
 *      owning the key associated with that value must determine which
 *      value---the locally stored value, the value received from a
 *      remote process, or some combination of the two---will be
 *      stored as the "official" value in the property map. The
 *      reduction operation transforms the local and remote values
 *      into the "official" value to be stored.
 *
 * @tparam ProcessGroup the type of the process group over which the
 * property map is distributed and is also the medium for
 * communication.
 *
 * @tparam StorageMap the type of the property map that will
 * store values for keys local to this processor. The @c value_type of
 * this property map will become the @c value_type of the distributed
 * property map. The distributed property map models the same property
 * map concepts as the @c LocalPropertyMap, with one exception: a
 * distributed property map cannot be an LvaluePropertyMap (because
 * remote values are not addressable), and is therefore limited to
 * ReadWritePropertyMap.
