/**
 * A class that represents a subset of indices among a larger set. For
 * example, it can be used to denote the set of degrees of freedom within the
 * range $[0,\mathrm{dof\_handler.n\_dofs()})$ that belongs to a particular
 * subdomain, or those among all degrees of freedom that are stored on a
 * particular processor in a distributed parallel computation.
 *
 * This class can represent a collection of half-open ranges of indices as
 * well as individual elements. For practical purposes it also stores the
 * overall range these indices can assume. In other words, you need to specify
 * the size of the index space $[0,\text{size})$ of which objects of this
 * class are a subset.
 *
 * There are two ways to iterate over the IndexSets: First, begin() and end()
 * allow iteration over individual indices in the set. Second,
 * begin_interval() and end_interval() allow iteration over the half-open
 * ranges as described above.
 *
 * The data structures used in this class along with a rationale can be found
 * in the
 * @ref distributed_paper "Distributed Computing paper".
