/// @brief Accelerated intersection of a ray with a narrow-band level
/// set or a generic (e.g. density) volume. This will of course be
/// useful for respectively surface and volume rendering.
///
/// @details This file defines two main classes,
/// LevelSetRayIntersector and VolumeRayIntersector, as well as the
/// three support classes LevelSetHDDA, VolumeHDDA and LinearSearchImpl.
/// The LevelSetRayIntersector is templated on the LinearSearchImpl class
/// and calls instances of the LevelSetHDDA class. The reason to split
/// level set ray intersection into three classes is twofold. First
/// LevelSetRayIntersector defines the public API for client code and
/// LinearSearchImpl defines the actual algorithm used for the
/// ray level-set intersection. In other words this design will allow
/// for the public API to be fixed while the intersection algorithm
/// can change without resolving to (slow) virtual methods. Second,
/// LevelSetHDDA, which implements a hierarchical Differential Digital
/// Analyzer, relies on partial template specialization, so it has to
/// be a standalone class (as opposed to a member class of
/// LevelSetRayIntersector). The VolumeRayIntersector is conceptually
/// much simpler than the LevelSetRayIntersector, and hence it only
/// depends on VolumeHDDA that implements the hierarchical
/// Differential Digital Analyzer.
