/**
 * General-purpose binary search algorithm;  you pass in an array or list
 * wrapped in an instance of Indexed, and an
 * Evaluator which converts the contents of the list into
 * numbers used by the binary search algorithm.  Note that the data
 * (as returned by the Indexed array/list) must be in order from
 * low to high.  The indices need not be contiguous (presumably
 * they are not or you wouldn't be using this class), but they must be
 * sorted.  If assertions are enabled, this is enforced;  if not, very
 * bad things (endless loops, etc.) can happen as a consequence of passing
 * unsorted data in.
 * 
 * This class is not thread-safe and the size and contents of the Indexed
 * should not change while a search is being performed.
