Looks like we'll actually retain and use this low-level solution
in cases where we just can not afford heap allocations but need
to keep polymorphic objects close to one another in memory.
Since single linked lists are filled by prepending, it is rather
common to need the reversed order of elements for traversal,
which can be achieved in linear time.
And while we're here, we can modernise the templated emplacement functions
Considering the fact that we are bound to introduce yet another iteration control function,
because there is literally no other way to cause a refresh within the IterTreeExplorer-Layers,
it is indicated to reconsider the way how IterStateWrapper attaches to the
iteration control API.
As it turns out, we'll never need an ADL-free function here;
and it seems fully adequate to require all "state core" objects to expose
the API as argument less member function. Because these reflect precisely
the contract of a "state core", so why not have them as member functions.
And as a nice extra, the implementation becomes way more concise in
all the cases refactored with this changeset!
Yet still, we stick to the basic design, *not* relying on virtual functions.
So this is a typical example of a Type Class (or "Concept" in C++ terminology)
the tricky part seems to be how to combine the
source iterators into a new monad instance, while
keeping this "Combinator" Strategy configurable
...just passes the compiler, while still lacking
even the generic implementation of joining
together the source iterators
