/** @brief Template class Trie implements a suffix trie, i.e. a tree in which all
 * suffixes up to a certain length are stored.
 *
 * It is excessively used in the CWeightedDegreeStringKernel and
 * CWeightedDegreePositionStringKernel to construct the whole features space
 * \f$\Phi(x)\f$ and enormously helps here to speed up SVM training and
 * evaluation.
 *
 * Note that depending on the underlying structure used, a single symbol in the
 * tree requires 20 bytes (DNATrie). It is also used to do the efficient
 * recursion in computing positional oligomer importance matrices (POIMs) where
 * the structure requires * 20+3*8 (POIMTrie) bytes.
 *
 * Finally note that this tree may use compact internal nodes (for strings that
 * appear without modifications, thus not requiring further branches), which
 * may save a lot of memory on higher degree tries.
