 * Input positions for neighborhood searching.
 *
 * This class supports uniformly specifying sets of positions for various
 * methods in the analysis neighborhood searching classes
 * (AnalysisNeighborhood and AnalysisNeighborhoodSearch).
 *
 * Note that copies are not made: only a reference to the positions passed to
 * the constructors are kept.  The caller is responsible to ensure that those
 * positions remain in scope as long as the neighborhood search object requires
 * access to them.
 *
 * Also note that in addition to constructors here, Selection and
 * SelectionPosition provide conversions operators to this type.  It is done
 * this way to not introduce a cyclic dependency between the selection code and
 * the neighborhood search code, which in turn allows splitting this search
 * code into a separate lower-level module if desired at some point.

/*! \brief
 * Neighborhood searching for analysis tools.
 *
 * This class implements neighborhood searching routines for analysis tools.
 * The emphasis is in flexibility and ease of use; one main driver is to have
 * a common implementation of grid-based searching to avoid replicating this in
 * multiple tools (and to make more tools take advantage of the significant
 * performance improvement this allows).
 *
 * To use the search, create an object of this type, call setCutoff() to
 * initialize it, and then repeatedly call initSearch() to start a search with
 * different sets of reference positions.  For each set of reference positions,
 * use methods in the returned AnalysisNeighborhoodSearch to find the reference
 * positions that are within the given cutoff from a provided position.
 *
 * initSearch() is thread-safe and can be called from multiple threads.  Each
 * call returns a different instance of the search object that can be used
 * independently of the others.  The returned AnalysisNeighborhoodSearch
 * objects are also thread-safe, and can be used concurrently from multiple
 * threads.  It is also possible to create multiple concurrent searches within
 * a single thread.
 *
 * \todo
 * Generalize the exclusion machinery to make it easier to use for other cases
 * than atom-atom exclusions from the topology.
