// D-ary heap using an indirect compare operator (use identity_property_map
// as DistanceMap to get a direct compare operator).  This heap appears to be
// commonly used for Dijkstra's algorithm for its good practical performance
// on some platforms; asymptotically, it has an O(lg N) decrease-key
// operation while that can be done in constant time on a relaxed heap.  The
// implementation is mostly based on the binary heap page on Wikipedia and
// online sources that state that the operations are the same for d-ary
// heaps.  This code is not based on the old Boost d-ary heap code.
//
// - d_ary_heap_indirect is a model of UpdatableQueue as is needed for
//   dijkstra_shortest_paths.
//
// - Value must model Assignable.
// - Arity must be at least 2 (optimal value appears to be 4, both in my and
//   third-party experiments).
// - IndexInHeapMap must be a ReadWritePropertyMap from Value to
//   Container::size_type (to store the index of each stored value within the
//   heap for decrease-key aka update).
// - DistanceMap must be a ReadablePropertyMap from Value to something
//   (typedef'ed as distance_type).
// - Compare must be a BinaryPredicate used as a less-than operator on
//   distance_type.
// - Container must be a random-access, contiguous container (in practice,
//   the operations used probably require that it is std::vector<Value>).
