// We build from larger to smaller, beginning at the edge.
// Hence we need to sort all the things at the edge to do
// stuff

// Consistency stuff:
// Everything within a compoent has the same parent
// This parent has a set with the cells on the border ordered by d
// It may contain cells already in the component, so this needs to be checked in every acess

// We want every component to be able to reach D.
// Hence it can add a cell iff the new call has d >= D-uf_size[cmp]. D is global. uf_size is consistent

// We always try to add the next cell with largest d over all possible merges.
// If this wasn't large enough, we put the component on the backburner.
// Backburner = components with no immediate possible merges.

// What if a new merge becomes possible for a component on the back-burner?
// This only happends when another component expands into it.
// Then the components will be merged and the non-backburner will keep being a non-backburner.

// What happends when all components have been put on the back-burner?
// Then we decrement D.
// How do we non-linearly get items back from the back-burner?
// Can we sort stuff on the back-burner such that some stuff get's back earlier?
// Then every thing goes back at most once per item.

// Something goes back when it can merge with the item. d_max >= D-uf_size, which happends when D =< d_max + uf_size.
// Hence we can use edge as the back_burner.

// After we have gone into a component and merged everything there is there,
// we add it to the back-burner as it cannot get high enough on the list in this iteration of D
// unless another compoennt merges into it, but then we only take over that spot in best.
