-
- This is unofficially a subclass of AbstractSearchAlgorithm,
- but constructor signature is different.
-
- Traditional binary search algorithm needs initial interval
- (lower and upper bound), and returns final interval after bisecting
- (until some exit condition is met).
- The exit condition is usually related to the interval width,
- (upper bound value minus lower bound value).
-
- The optimized algorithm contains several improvements
- aimed to reduce overall search time.
-
- One improvement is searching for multiple intervals at once.
- The intervals differ by the target loss ratio. Lower bound
- has to have equal or smaller loss ratio, upper bound has to have larger.
-
- Next improvement is that the initial interval does not need to be valid.
- Imagine initial interval (10, 11) where loss at 11 is smaller
- than the searched ratio.
- The algorithm will try (11, 13) interval next, and if 13 is still smaller,
- (13, 17) and so on, doubling width until the upper bound is valid.
- The part when interval expands is called external search,
- the part when interval is bisected is called internal search.
-
- Next improvement is that trial measurements at small trial duration
- can be used to find a reasonable interval for full trial duration search.
- This results in more trials performed, but smaller overall duration
- in general.
-
- Next improvement is bisecting in logarithmic quantities,
- so that exit criteria can be independent of measurement units.
-
- Next improvement is basing the initial interval on receive rates.
-
- Final improvement is exiting early if the minimal value
- is not a valid lower bound.
-
- The complete search consist of several phases,
- each phase performing several trial measurements.
- Initial phase creates initial interval based on receive rates
- at maximum rate and at maximum receive rate (MRR).
- Final phase and preceding intermediate phases are performing
- external and internal search steps,
- each resulting interval is the starting point for the next phase.
- The resulting intervals of final phase is the result of the whole algorithm.
-
- Each non-initial phase uses its own trial duration.
- Any non-initial phase stops searching (for all ratios independently)
- when minimum is not a valid lower bound (at current duration),
- or all of the following is true:
- Both bounds are valid, bounds are measured at the current phase
- trial duration, interval width is less than the width goal
- for current phase.

+"""Module defining DataclassProperty class.
+
+The main issue that needs support is dataclasses with properties
+(including setters) and with (immutable) default values.
+
+First, this explains how property ends up passed as default constructor value:
+https://florimond.dev/en/posts/2018/10/
+/reconciling-dataclasses-and-properties-in-python/
+TL;DR: By the time __init__ is generated, original class variable (type hint)
+is replaced by property (method definition).
+
+Second, there are ways to deal with that:
+https://stackoverflow.com/a/61480946
+TL;DR: It relies on the underscored field being replaced by the value.
+
+But that does not work for field which use default_factory (or no default)
+(the underscored class field is deleted instead).
+So another way is needed to cover those cases,
+ideally without the need to define both original and underscored field.
+
+This implementation relies on a fact that decorators are executed
+when the class fields do yet exist, and decorated function
+does know its name, so the decorator can get the value stored in
+the class field, and store it as an additional attribute of the getter function.
+Then for setter, the property contains the getter (as an unbound function),
+so it can access the additional attribute to get the value.
+
+This approach circumvents the precautions dataclasses take to prevent mishaps
+when a single mutable object is shared between multiple instances.
+So it is up to setters to create an appropriate copy of the default object
+if the default value is mutable.
+
+The default value cannot be MISSING nor Field nor DataclassProperty,
+otherwise the intended logic breaks.

+ """Optimized binary search algorithm for finding conditional throughputs.
+
+ Traditional binary search algorithm needs initial interval
+ (lower and upper bound), and returns final narrow bounds
+ (related to its search goal) after bisecting
+ (until some exit condition is met).
+ The exit condition is usually related to the interval width,
+ (upper bound value minus lower bound value).
+
+ The optimized algorithm in this class contains several improvements
+ aimed to reduce overall search time.
+
+ One improvement is searching for bounds for multiple search goals at once.
+ Specifically, the trial measurement results influence bounds for all goals,
+ even though the selection of trial inputs for next measurement
+ focuses only on one goal. The focus can switch between goals frequently.
+
+ Next improvement is that results of trial measurements
+ with small trial duration can be used to find a reasonable starting interval
+ for full trial duration search.
+ This results in more trials performed, but smaller overall duration
+ in general.
+ Internally, such shorter trials come from "preceding targets",
+ handled in a same way as a search goal "final target".
+ Related improvement is that the "current" interval does not need to be valid
+ (e.g. one of the bounds is missing).
+ In that case, this algorithm will move and expand the interval,
+ in a process called external search. Only when both bounds are found,
+ the interval bisection (called internal search) starts making it narrow.
+
+ Next improvement is bisecting in logarithmic quantities,
+ so that target relative width is independent of measurement units.
+
+ Next improvement is basing the initial interval on forwarding rates
+ of few initial measurements, starting at max load and using forwarding rates
+ seen so far.
+
+ Next improvement is to allow the use of multiple shorter trials
+ instead one big trial, allowing a percentage of trials
+ to exceed the loss ratio target.
+ This makes the result more stable in practice.
+ Conservative behavior (single long trial, zero exceed ratio)
+ is still available using corresponding goal definitions.
+
+ Final improvement is exiting early if the minimal load
+ is not a valid lower bound (at final duration)
+ and also exiting if the overall search duration is too long.
+
+ There are also subtle optimizations related to candidate selection
+ and uneven splitting of intervals, too numerous to list here.

+ Quantities with relative_ prefix can be used to get load candidates
