  // 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>).
