  @defgroup ComparatorUtils ComparatorUtils

  @brief A collection of utilities for comparators.

  @ingroup Kernel

  @code
  #include <OpenMS/KERNEL/ComparatorUtils.h>
  @endcode

  This file contains some lightweight class templates
  which simplify the (re-)usage and composition of <b>comparator classes</b>:
    - ReverseComparator (reverse the direction of comparison)
    - LexicographicComparator (combine comparators lexicographically)
    - PointerComparator (compare pointers like the type they point to)
  .
  We provide corresponding "make-functions" so that you will not need to write
  out the type names in the template instantiation.

  We explain this with a simple example.  First a few prerequisites.

  @dontinclude Tutorial_ComparatorUtils.C
  @until String;

  The class IntRealString has three data members.  The class
  IntRealStringVector is a vector of IntRealString.
  We add some print() methods for convenience.
  @until };
  @until };

  Now we will exercise various ways of sorting such a vector.

  Of course, we could use the std::sort algorithm with a comparison function
  like the following.
  @until }

  This is straightforward but does not generalize well.  Instead we introduce
  three <b>comparator classes</b>:
  @until };
  @until };
  @until };
  Note how the std::binary_function template provides the necessary type
  information (sometimes this is called "reflection").

  Now we show various uses of the reverseComparator and lexicographicComparator
  function templates.
  @until vec.print();
  @until vec.print();
  @until vec.print();
  @until vec.print();
  @until vec.print();
  @until vec.print();

  And here is an application of the pointerComparator function template:
  @until main

  The output of the example program is:
  @code
  After initialization:
    (1, 4.5, paul)
    (2, 4.5, josie)
    (1, 4.5, john)
    (2, 3.9, kim)

  Sorted using lessByInt function:
    (1, 4.5, paul)
    (1, 4.5, john)
    (2, 4.5, josie)
    (2, 3.9, kim)

  Sorted using LessByInt comparator class:
    (1, 4.5, paul)
    (1, 4.5, john)
    (2, 4.5, josie)
    (2, 3.9, kim)

  Sorted using reversed LessByInt comparator class:
    (2, 4.5, josie)
    (2, 3.9, kim)
    (1, 4.5, paul)
    (1, 4.5, john)

  Sorted using lexicographic order: 1. LessByInt, 2. LessByReal
    (1, 4.5, paul)
    (1, 4.5, john)
    (2, 3.9, kim)
    (2, 4.5, josie)

  Sorted using lexicographic order: 1. reversed LessByInt, 2. LessByReal, 3. LessByString
    (2, 3.9, kim)
    (2, 4.5, josie)
    (1, 4.5, john)
    (1, 4.5, paul)

  ptr_vec before sorting
    (2, 3.9, kim)
    (2, 4.5, josie)
    (1, 4.5, john)
    (1, 4.5, paul)

  ptr_vec after sorting with pointerComparator(LessByString())
    (1, 4.5, john)
    (2, 4.5, josie)
    (2, 3.9, kim)
    (1, 4.5, paul)

  @endcode

  Note that pointerComparator can also be used with full-blown iterator classes.
  (It should work with everything that provides an operator*(), but the typedefs will always be pointers.)

  Note that these templates can also be used with different types for "left" and "right".
