+   This differs from std::binary_search in that it returns an interator for
+   the found element and in that the type of EL can be different from the
+   type of the elements in the countainer.
+
+   COMP is a C-style comparison function with signature:
+   int comp(const value_type& a, const T& b);
+   It should return -1, 0 or 1 if a is less than, equal to, or greater than
+   b, respectively.
+   [first, last) must be sorted.
+
+   The return value is an iterator pointing to the found element, or LAST if
+   no element was found.  */
