            REQUIREMENTS ON domain
                domain must be comparable by compare where compare is a functor compatible with std::less and
                domain is swappable by a global swap() and                
                domain must have a default constructor

            REQUIREMENTS ON range
                range is swappable by a global swap() and
                range must have a default constructor

            POINTERS AND REFERENCES TO INTERNAL DATA
                Only the destructor and load_from() will invalidate pointers or 
                references to internal data.  

            INITIAL VALUE
                size() == 0

            ENUMERATION ORDER
                The enumerator will iterate over the domain (and each associated
                range element) elements in ascending order according to the compare functor. 
                (i.e. the elements are enumerated in sorted order)

            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                static_map contains items of type domain and range

                This object is similar an array.  It maps items of type domain on to 
                items of type range.  

                Also note that unless specified otherwise, no member functions
                of this object throw exceptions.

            NOTE
                definition of equivalent:
                a is equivalent to b if
                a < b == false and
                b < a == false
