/**
 * \class skew_heap
 * \brief skew heap
 *
 *
 * The template parameter T is the type to be managed by the container.
 * The user can specify additional options and if no options are provided default options are used.
 *
 * The container supports the following options:
 * - \c boost::heap::compare<>, defaults to \c compare<std::less<T> >
 * - \c boost::heap::stable<>, defaults to \c stable<false>
 * - \c boost::heap::stability_counter_type<>, defaults to \c stability_counter_type<boost::uintmax_t>
 * - \c boost::heap::allocator<>, defaults to \c allocator<std::allocator<T> >
 * - \c boost::heap::constant_time_size<>, defaults to \c constant_time_size<true>
 * - \c boost::heap::store_parent_pointer<>, defaults to \c store_parent_pointer<true>. Maintaining a parent pointer adds some
 *   maintenance and size overhead, but iterating a heap is more efficient.
 * - \c boost::heap::mutable<>, defaults to \c mutable<false>.
