    Connected components are defined as regions with uniform pixel
    values. Thus, <TT>SrcAccessor::value_type</TT> either must be
    equality comparable (first form), or an EqualityFunctor must be
    provided that realizes the desired predicate (second form). The
    destination's value type should be large enough to hold the labels
    without overflow. Region numbers will be a consecutive sequence
    starting with one and ending with the region number returned by
    the function (inclusive). The parameter '<TT>eight_neighbors</TT>'
    determines whether the regions should be 4-connected or
    8-connected. The function uses accessors.

    Return:  the number of regions found (= largest region label)

                       SrcIterator sul, SrcIterator slr, SrcAccessor sa,
                       DestIterator dul, DestAccessor da,
                       DestValue edge_marker)
    }
    \endcode

    use argument objects in conjunction with \ref ArgumentObjectFactories :
    \code
    namespace vigra {
        template <class SrcIterator, class SrcAccessor,
                  class DestIterator, class DestAccessor, class DestValue>

                   triple<SrcIterator, SrcIterator, SrcAccessor> src,

                   DestValue edge_marker)
    }
    \endcode

    This algorithm inserts border pixels (so called "crack edges")
    between regions in a labeled image like this (<TT>a</TT> and
    <TT>c</TT> are the original labels, and <TT>0</TT> is the value of
    <TT>edge_marker</TT> and denotes the inserted edges):

    \code
       original image     insert zero- and one-cells

                                         a 0 c c c
          a c c                          a 0 0 0 c
          a a c               =>         a a a 0 c
          a a a                          a a a 0 0
                                         a a a a a
    \endcode

    The algorithm assumes that the original labeled image contains
    no background. Therefore, it is suitable as a post-processing
    operation of \ref labelImage() or \ref seededRegionGrowing().

    The destination image must be twice the size of the original
    (precisely, <TT>(2*w-1)</TT> by <TT>(2*h-1)</TT> pixels). The
    source value type (<TT>SrcAccessor::value-type</TT>) must be
    equality-comparable.
