// Class to map a feature space defined by INT_FEATURE_STRUCT to a compact
// down-sampled subspace of actually used features.
// The IntFeatureMap copes with 2 stages of transformation:
// The first step is down-sampling (re-quantization) and converting to a
// single index value from the 3-D input:
//   INT_FEATURE_STRUCT <-> index feature (via IntFeatureSpace) and
// the second is a feature-space compaction to map only the feature indices
// that are actually used. This saves space in classifiers that are built
// using the mapped feature space.
//   index (sparse) feature <-> map (compact) feature via IndexMapBiDi.
// Although the transformations are reversible, the inverses are lossy and do
// not return the exact input INT_FEATURE_STRUCT, due to the many->one nature
// of both transformations.
