namespace WTF {

// A UnionFind class can be used to compute disjoint sets using the
// disjoint-set forest data structure. Each UnionFind instance is a
// node in the forest. Typically you use it by using UnionFind as a
// superclass:
//
// class MemberOfSet : public UnionFind<MemberOfSet> { ... }
//
// Calling x->find() gives you a MemberOfSet* that represents the
// disjoint set that x belongs to. Calling x->unify(y) unifies x's
// set with y's set, and ensures that:
//
// x->find() == y->find()
//
// and that:
//
// a->find() == b->find()
//
// for any a, b if prior to the call to x->unify(y), we would have
// had:
//
// a->find() == x
// b->find() == y
//
// This implementation is almost amortized O(1), but could be worse
// in unlikely pathological cases. It favors having a non-recursive
// single pass implementation of unify() and find() over ensuring the
// theoretical O(InverseAckermann[n]) amortized bound, which is much
// closer to amortized O(1).
