#  This module defines a class which allows to order arbitrary object with
# regard to arbitrary binary relation.
#
#  The primary use case is the gcc toolset, which is sensitive to library order:
#  if library 'a' uses symbols from library 'b', then 'a' must be present before
#  'b' on the linker's command line.
#
#  This requirement can be lifted for gcc with GNU ld, but for gcc with Solaris
#  LD (and for Solaris toolset as well), the order always matters.
#
#  So, we need to store order requirements and then order libraries according to
#  them. It is not possible to use the dependency graph as order requirements.
#  What we need is a "use symbols" relationship while dependency graph provides
#  the "needs to be updated" relationship.
#
#  For example::
#    lib a : a.cpp b;
#    lib b ;
#
#  For static linking, library 'a' need not depend on 'b'. However, it should
#  still come before 'b' on the command line.
