Note

• Object (O) parameter: The type of object being keyed
• Super (S) parameter: The super Key class (== or derived from Key)
• Client (C) parameter: The client (user) of these keys
• There is a distinct Key type for each Object+Super+Client combination
• Hidden index is set automatically at construction in the order keys are constructed
• Default-constructed keys are assigned a hidden index of zero: Use indentifier argument(s) when constructing keys meant for collections
• Key-constructed keys copy the index of the source key so they compare as equal
• Can derive privately from an AutoKey to share the index set of another Key type without allowing convertibility (for type safety)
• Designed for collections of keys of a common abstract or concrete Key type
