<p>
Let <code>Key</code> be a type with some implicit equivalence relationship
and <code>Value</code> a type constructible from <code>Key</code>.
A <a href="http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/DefaultConstructible.html"><code>Default
Constructible</code></a> type <code>KeyFromValue</code> is said
to be a key extractor from <code>Value</code> to <code>Key</code> if
<ol>
<li><code>kfv(cv)</code> is defined and have type <code>const Key&</code>,</li>
<li><code>kfv(cv)</code> is equivalent to <code>kfv(Value(cv))</code>,</li>
<li><code>kfv(Value(k))</code> is equivalent to <code>k</code>,</li>
</ol>
for every <code>kfv</code> of type <code>const KeyFromValue</code>,
<code>cv</code> of type <code>const Value</code> and
<code>k</code> of type <code>Key</code>.

<h3><a name="key_value_construct">Class template <code>key_value</code></a></h3>
<p>
In <a href="flyweight.html#flyweight"><code>flyweight</code></a> instantiations
of the form <code>flyweight<T,...></code>, the associated
<code>key_type</code> and <code>value_type</code> are both equal to <code>T</code>.
Instantiations of the form <code>flyweight<key_value<Key,Value[,KeyFromValue]>,...></code>
allow to specify these types separately. <code>Key</code> and <code>Value</code>
must be different types. When provided, <code>KeyFromValue</code>
must be a <a href="#key_extractor"><code>Key Extractor</code></a> from
<code>Value</code> to <code>Key</code>.
