/**
 *  The {@code PatriciaSET} class provides an implementation of an
 *  unordered set, with the restriction that the items (keys) are of class
 *  {@link java.lang.String}. It supports the usual <em>add</em>,
 *  <em>contains</em>, <em>delete</em>, <em>size</em>, and <em>is-empty</em>
 *  methods. It also provides an <em>iterator</em> method for iterating over all
 *  the elements in the set.
 *  <p>
 *  This unordered set class implements PATRICIA (Practical Algorithm to
 *  Retrieve Information Coded In Alphanumeric). In spite of the acronym, string
 *  keys are not limited to alphanumeric content. A key may possess any string
 *  value, with one exception: a zero-length string is not permitted.
 *  <p>
 *  Unlike other generic set implementations that can accept a parameterized key
 *  type, this set class can only accommodate keys of class
 *  {@link java.lang.String}. This unfortunate restriction stems from a
 *  limitation in Java. Although Java provides excellent support for generic
 *  programming, the current infrastructure somewhat limits generic collection
 *  implementations to those that employ comparison-based or hash-based methods.
 *  PATRICIA does not employ comparisons or hashing; instead, it relies on
 *  bit-test operations. Because Java does not furnish any generic abstractions
 *  (or implementations) for bit-testing the contents of an object, providing
 *  support for generic keys using PATRICIA does not seem practical.
 *  <p>
 *  PATRICIA is a variation of a trie, and it is often classified as a
 *  space-optimized trie. In a classical trie, each level represents a
 *  subsequent digit in a key. In PATRICIA, nodes only exist to identify the
 *  digits (bits) that distinguish the individual keys within the trie. Because
 *  PATRICIA uses a radix of two, each node has only two children, like a binary
 *  tree. Also like a binary tree, the number of nodes, within the trie, equals
 *  the number of keys. Consequently, some classify PATRICIA as a tree.
 *  <p>
 *  The analysis of PATRICIA is complicated. The theoretical wost-case
 *  performance for an <em>add</em>, <em>contains</em>, or <em>delete</em>
 *  operation is <strong>O(N)</strong>, when <strong>N</strong> is less than
 *  <strong>W</strong> (where <strong>W</strong> is the length in bits of the
 *  longest key), and <strong>O(W)</strong>, when <strong>N</strong> is greater
 *  than <strong>W</strong>. However, the worst case is unlikely to occur with
 *  typical use. The average (and usual) performance of PATRICIA is
 *  approximately <strong>~lg N</strong> for each <em>add</em>,
 *  <em>contains</em>, or <em>delete</em> operation. Although this appears to
 *  put PATRICIA on the same footing as binary trees, this time complexity
 *  represents the number of single-bit test operations (under PATRICIA), and
 *  not full-key comparisons (as required by binary trees). After the single-bit
 *  tests conclude, PATRICIA requires just one full-key comparison to confirm
 *  the existence (or absence) of the key (per <em>add</em>, <em>contains</em>,
 *  or <em>delete</em> operation).
 *  <p>
 *  In practice, decent implementations of PATRICIA can often outperform
 *  balanced binary trees, and even hash tables. Although this particular
 *  implementation performs well, the source code was written with an emphasis
 *  on clarity, and not performance. PATRICIA performs admirably when its
 *  bit-testing loops are well tuned. Consider using the source code as a guide,
 *  should you need to produce an optimized implementation, for another key type,
 *  or in another programming language.
