 * Dimino's algorithm
 * ==================
 *
 * The following is Dimino's algorithm in sequential form:
 *
 * Input: identity element, list of generators, equality check,
 *        multiplication operation
 * Output: list of group elements
 *
 * 1. add identity element
 * 2. remove identities from list of generators
 * 3. add all powers of first generator that aren't the
 *    identity element
 * 4. go through all remaining generators:
 *        a. if generator is already in the list of elements
 *                -> do nothing
 *        b. otherwise
 *                i.   remember current # of elements
 *                     (i.e. the size of the current subgroup)
 *                ii.  add all current elements (which includes
 *                     the identity) each multiplied from right
 *                     with the current generator to the group
 *                iii. add all remaining cosets that are generated
 *                     by products of the new generator with itself
 *                     and all other generators seen so far
 *
 * In functional form, this is implemented as a long set of recursive
 * templates that have a complicated relationship.
 *
 * The main interface for Dimino's algorithm is the template
 * enumerate_group_elements. All lists are implemented as variadic
 * type_list<typename...> and numeric_list<typename = int, int...>
 * templates.
 *
 * 'Calling' templates is usually done via typedefs.
 *
 * This algorithm is an extended version of the basic version. The
 * extension consists in the fact that each group element has a set
 * of flags associated with it. Multiplication of two group elements
 * with each other results in a group element whose flags are the
 * XOR of the flags of the previous elements. Each time the algorithm
 * notices that a group element it just calculated is already in the
 * list of current elements, the flags of both will be compared and
 * added to the so-called 'global flags' of the group.
 *
 * The rationale behind this extension is that this allows not only
 * for the description of symmetries between tensor indices, but
 * also allows for the description of hermiticity, antisymmetry and
 * antihermiticity. Negation and conjugation each are specific bit
 * in the flags value and if two different ways to reach a group
 * element lead to two different flags, this poses a constraint on
 * the allowed values of the resulting tensor. For example, if a
 * group element is reach both with and without the conjugation
 * flags, it is clear that the resulting tensor has to be real.
 *
 * Note that this flag mechanism is quite generic and may have other
 * uses beyond tensor properties.
 *
 * IMPORTANT:
 *     This algorithm assumes the group to be finite. If you try to
 *     run it with a group that's infinite, the algorithm will only
 *     terminate once you hit a compiler limit (max template depth).
 *     Also note that trying to use this implementation to create a
 *     very large group will probably either make you hit the same
 *     limit, cause the compiler to segfault or at the very least
 *     take a *really* long time (hours, days, weeks - sic!) to
 *     compile. It is not recommended to plug in more than 4
 *     generators, unless they are independent of each other.
