        The implementation of well-known probabilistic data structure called skip-list
        invented by W.Pugh in his papers:
            - [1989] W.Pugh Skip Lists: A Probabilistic Alternative to Balanced Trees
            - [1990] W.Pugh A Skip List Cookbook

        A skip-list is a probabilistic data structure that provides expected logarithmic
        time search without the need of rebalance. The skip-list is a collection of sorted
        linked list. Nodes are ordered by key. Each node is linked into a subset of the lists.
        Each list has a level, ranging from 0 to 32. The bottom-level list contains
        all the nodes, and each higher-level list is a sublist of the lower-level lists.
        Each node is created with a random top level (with a random height), and belongs
        to all lists up to that level. The probability that a node has the height 1 is 1/2.
        The probability that a node has the height N is 1/2 ** N (more precisely,
        the distribution depends on an random generator provided, but our generators
        have this property).

        The lock-free variant of skip-list is implemented according to book
            - [2008] M.Herlihy, N.Shavit "The Art of Multiprocessor Programming",
                chapter 14.4 "A Lock-Free Concurrent Skiplist".

        <b>Template arguments</b>:
            - \p GC - Garbage collector used. Note the \p GC must be the same as the GC used for item type \p T, see \p skip_list::node.
            - \p T - type to be stored in the list. The type must be based on \p skip_list::node (for \p skip_list::base_hook)
                or it must have a member of type \p skip_list::node (for \p skip_list::member_hook).
            - \p Traits - skip-list traits, default is \p skip_list::traits.
                It is possible to declare option-based list with \p cds::intrusive::skip_list::make_traits metafunction istead of \p Traits
                template argument.

        @warning The skip-list requires up to 67 hazard pointers that may be critical for some GCs for which
            the guard count is limited (like as \p gc::HP). Those GCs should be explicitly initialized with
            hazard pointer enough: \code cds::gc::HP myhp( 67 ) \endcode. Otherwise an run-time exception may be raised
            when you try to create skip-list object.

        There are several specializations of \p %SkipListSet for each \p GC. You should include:
        - <tt><cds/intrusive/skip_list_hp.h></tt> for \p gc::HP garbage collector
        - <tt><cds/intrusive/skip_list_dhp.h></tt> for \p gc::DHP garbage collector
        - <tt><cds/intrusive/skip_list_nogc.h></tt> for \ref cds_intrusive_SkipListSet_nogc for append-only set
        - <tt><cds/intrusive/skip_list_rcu.h></tt> for \ref cds_intrusive_SkipListSet_rcu "RCU type"

        <b>Iterators</b>

        The class supports a forward iterator (\ref iterator and \ref const_iterator).
        The iteration is ordered.
        The iterator object is thread-safe: the element pointed by the iterator object is guarded,
        so, the element cannot be reclaimed while the iterator object is alive.
        However, passing an iterator object between threads is dangerous.

        @warning Due to concurrent nature of skip-list set it is not guarantee that you can iterate
        all elements in the set: any concurrent deletion can exclude the element
        pointed by the iterator from the set, and your iteration can be terminated
        before end of the set. Therefore, such iteration is more suitable for debugging purpose only

        Remember, each iterator object requires 2 additional hazard pointers, that may be
        a limited resource for \p GC like as \p gc::HP (for \p gc::DHP the count of
        guards is unlimited).

        The iterator class supports the following minimalistic interface:
        \code
        struct iterator {
            // Default ctor
            iterator();

            // Copy ctor
            iterator( iterator const& s);

            value_type * operator ->() const;
            value_type& operator *() const;

            // Pre-increment
            iterator& operator ++();

            // Copy assignment
            iterator& operator = (const iterator& src);

            bool operator ==(iterator const& i ) const;
            bool operator !=(iterator const& i ) const;
        };
        \endcode
        Note, the iterator object returned by \p end(), \p cend() member functions points to \p nullptr and should not be dereferenced.

        <b>How to use</b>

        You should incorporate \p skip_list::node into your struct \p T and provide
        appropriate \p skip_list::traits::hook in your \p Traits template parameters. Usually, for \p Traits you
        define a struct based on \p skip_list::traits.

        Example for \p gc::HP and base hook:
        \code
        // Include GC-related skip-list specialization
        #include <cds/intrusive/skip_list_hp.h>

        // Data stored in skip list
        struct my_data: public cds::intrusive::skip_list::node< cds::gc::HP >
        {
            // key field
            std::string     strKey;

            // other data
            // ...
        };

        // my_data compare functor
        struct my_data_cmp {
            int operator()( const my_data& d1, const my_data& d2 )
            {
                return d1.strKey.compare( d2.strKey );
            }

            int operator()( const my_data& d, const std::string& s )
            {
                return d.strKey.compare(s);
            }

            int operator()( const std::string& s, const my_data& d )
            {
                return s.compare( d.strKey );
            }
        };


        // Declare your traits
        struct my_traits: public cds::intrusive::skip_list::traits
        {
            typedef cds::intrusive::skip_list::base_hook< cds::opt::gc< cds::gc::HP > >   hook;
            typedef my_data_cmp compare;
        };

        // Declare skip-list set type
        typedef cds::intrusive::SkipListSet< cds::gc::HP, my_data, my_traits >     traits_based_set;
        \endcode

        Equivalent option-based code:
        \code
        // GC-related specialization
        #include <cds/intrusive/skip_list_hp.h>

        struct my_data {
            // see above
        };
        struct compare {
            // see above
        };

        // Declare option-based skip-list set
        typedef cds::intrusive::SkipListSet< cds::gc::HP
            ,my_data
            , typename cds::intrusive::skip_list::make_traits<

                ,cds::intrusive::opt::compare< my_data_cmp >
            >::type
        > option_based_set;

            The forward iterator has some features:
            - it has no post-increment operator
            - to protect the value, the iterator contains a GC-specific guard + another guard is required locally for increment operator.
              For some GC (like as \p gc::HP), a guard is a limited resource per thread, so an exception (or assertion) "no free guard"
              may be thrown if the limit of guard count per thread is exceeded.
            - The iterator cannot be moved across thread boundary because it contains thread-private GC's guard.
            - Iterator ensures thread-safety even if you delete the item the iterator points to. However, in case of concurrent
              deleting operations there is no guarantee that you iterate all item in the list.
              Moreover, a crash is possible when you try to iterate the next element that has been deleted by concurrent thread.

            @warning Use this iterator on the concurrent container for debugging purpose only.
