 ** @internal 
 ** @brief AIB algorithm data
 **
 ** The implementation is quite straightforward, but the way feature
 ** values are handled in order to support efficient joins,
 ** deletions and re-arrangement needs to be explained. This is
 ** achieved by adding a layer of indirection:
 ** - Call each feature value (either original or obtained by a join
 **   operation) a <em>node</em>. Nodes are identified by numbers.
 ** - Call each element of the various arrays (such as VlAIB::Px)
 **    an <em>entry</em>.
 ** - Entries are dynamically associated to nodes as specified by
 **   VlAIB::nodes. For example, @c Px[i] refers to the node @c
 **   nodes[i].
