// * declaring an option:
//    struct Algo1_CostFunction {
//      virtual float cost(int x) const { return x; }
//      virtual ~Algo1_CostFunction() {}
//    };
//
// * accessing an option:
//    config.Get<Algo1_CostFunction>().cost(value);
//
// * setting an option:
//    struct SqrCost : Algo1_CostFunction {
//      virtual float cost(int x) const { return x*x; }
//    };
//    config.Set<Algo1_CostFunction>(new SqrCost());
//
// Note: This class is thread-compatible (like STL containers).
