// A semiring is specified by two binary operations Plus and Times and two
// designated elements Zero and One with the following properties:
//
//   Plus: associative, commutative, and has Zero as its identity.
//
//   Times: associative and has identity One, distributes w.r.t. Plus, and
//     has Zero as an annihilator:
//          Times(Zero(), a) == Times(a, Zero()) = Zero().
//
// A left semiring distributes on the left; a right semiring is similarly
// defined.
//
// A Weight class must have binary functions Plus and Times and static member
// functions Zero() and One() and these must form (at least) a left or right
// semiring.
//
// In addition, the following should be defined for a Weight:
//
//   Member: predicate on set membership.
//
//   NoWeight: static member function that returns an element that is
//      not a set member; used to signal an error.
//
//   >>: reads textual representation of a weight.
//
//   <<: prints textual representation of a weight.
//
//   Read(istream &istrm): reads binary representation of a weight.
//
//   Write(ostream &ostrm): writes binary representation of a weight.
//
//   Hash: maps weight to size_t.
//
//   ApproxEqual: approximate equality (for inexact weights)
//
//   Quantize: quantizes w.r.t delta (for inexact weights)
//
//   Divide:
//     - In a left semiring, for all a, b, b', c:
//       if Times(a, b) = c, Divide(c, a, DIVIDE_LEFT) = b' and b'.Member(),
//       then Times(a, b') = c.
//     - In a right semiring, for all a, a', b, c:
//       if Times(a, b) = c, Divide(c, b, DIVIDE_RIGHT) = a' and a'.Member(),
//       then Times(a', b) = c.
//     - In a commutative semiring,
//        * for all a, c:
//          Divide(c, a, DIVIDE_ANY) = Divide(c, a, DIVIDE_LEFT)
//           = Divide(c, a, DIVIDE_RIGHT)
//        * for all a, b, b', c:
//          if Times(a, b) = c, Divide(c, a, DIVIDE_ANY) = b' and b'.Member(),
//          then Times(a, b') = c
//     - In the case where there exist no b such that c = Times(a, b), the
//       return value of Divide(c, a, DIVIDE_LEFT) is unspecified. Returning
//       Weight::NoWeight() is recommemded but not required in order to
//       allow the most efficient implementation.
//     - All algorithms in this library only call Divide(c, a) when it is
//       guaranteed that there exists a b such that c = Times(a, b).
//
//   ReverseWeight: the type of the corresponding reverse weight.
//
//     Typically the same type as Weight for a (both left and right) semiring.
//     For the left string semiring, it is the right string semiring.
//
//   Reverse: a mapping from Weight to ReverseWeight s.t.
//
//     --> Reverse(Reverse(a)) = a
//     --> Reverse(Plus(a, b)) = Plus(Reverse(a), Reverse(b))
//     --> Reverse(Times(a, b)) = Times(Reverse(b), Reverse(a))
//     Typically the identity mapping in a (both left and right) semiring.
//     In the left string semiring, it maps to the reverse string in the right
//     string semiring.
//
//   Properties: specifies additional properties that hold:
//      LeftSemiring: indicates weights form a left semiring.
//      RightSemiring: indicates weights form a right semiring.
//      Commutative: for all a, b: Times(a,b) == Times(b, a)
//      Idempotent: for all a: Plus(a, a) == a.
//      Path: for all a, b: Plus(a, b) == a or Plus(a, b) == b.
//
// User-defined weights and their corresponding operations SHOULD be
// defined in the same namespace, but SHOULD NOT defined in the fst
// namespace. Defining them in fst would make the user code fragile
// to additions in fst. They will be found in another namespace
// via argument-dependent lookup.
