/**
 * Container associating units to locations.
 * An indirection location -> underlying_id -> unit ensures that iterators
 * stay valid even if WML modifies or moves units on the fly. They even stay
 * valid if a unit is erased from the map and another unit with the same
 * underlying id is inserted in the map.  In other words it is a doubly indexed ordered map
 with persistent iterators (that never invalidate)

 @note The unit_map is implemented as 2 unordered maps storing iterators from a list of reference counted pointers to units.
 The unordered maps provide O(1) find times.  The list allows arbitrary ordering of units (not yet implemented).
 The reference counting is what guarrantees the persistent iterators.
 Storing an iterator prevents only that dead unit's list location from being recovered.

@note Prefered usages for tight loops follows.
Use the std::pair<iterator, bool> format which checks the preconditions and returns
false in the bool to indicate failure with no change to the unit_map.  true indicates sucess and the new iterator is in first.
Storing the result iterator prevents the old iterator from entering the fallback recovery code.
This is faster than the old methodology of find to check if empty, insert and then find to check for success.
It is the same method as std::map uses, the C++ way.

unit_iterator i;  //results are stored here

Add
std::pair<unit_iterator, bool> try_add(units->add(loc, unit));
if(try_add.second){i = try_add.first;}

Move
std::pair<unit_iterator, bool> try_add(units->move(src, dst));
if(try_add.second){i = try_add.first;}

Insert
std::pair<unit_iterator, bool> try_add(units->insert(unitp));
if(try_add.second){i = try_add.first;}

Replace  (preferred over erase and then add)
std::pair<unit_iterator, bool> try_add(units->move(loc, unit));
if(try_add.second){i = try_add.first;}




 @note The previous implementation was 2 binary tree based maps one the location map pointing to the other.
 Lookups were O(2*log(N)) and O(log(N)).  Order was implicit in the id map choosen as the base.
 Persistence was provided by reference counting all iterators collectively and only recovering space when
 there were no iterators outstanding.  Even 1 iterator being stored caused a leak, because
 all space for dead units is not recovered.

 * @note Units are owned by the container.
 * @note The indirection does not involve map lookups whenever an iterator
 *       is dereferenced, it just causes a pointer indirection. The downside
 *       is that incrementing iterator is not O(1).
 * @note The code does not involve any magic, so units moved while being
 *       iterated upon may be skipped or visited twice.
 * @note Iterators prevent ghost units from being collected. So they should
 *       never be stored into data structures, as it will cause slowdowns!
 @note By popular demand iterators are effectively permanant.  They are handles and not iterators.
  Any access might cause a full lookup.  Keeping iterators around holds onto memory.
