/**
 * A brief index of everything contained
 * <h1>Control blocks</h1>
 * A lot of these might seem to make more sense as a default function on {@link IStructureElement}. However, in that
 * case javac generic will often fail to infer the type for you, so we have to define them as static methods
 * <h1>If block</h1>
 * Provide if block, allowing downstream call only if user specified conditions are meet (i.e. predicate returns true)
 * <ul>
 *     <li>{@link #onlyIf(Predicate, IStructureElement)} and its overloads</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h1>Switch block</h1>
 * Provide switch block, allowing to select a downstream element by using a key or index computed from trigger item
 * and/or context object.
 * <ul>
 *     <li>{@link #partitionBy(Function, IStructureElement[])} and its overloads</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h1>Or Chain</h1>
 * Provide a short-circuiting OR chain.
 * <ul>
 *     <li>{@link #ofChain(IStructureElement[])} and its overloads</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h2>Side effect</h2>
 * Provide callbacks on various occasion
 * <ul>
 *     <li>{@link #onElementPass(Consumer, IStructureElement)}: Call an callback upon element check success </li>
 *     <li>{@link #onElementFail(Consumer, IStructureElement)}: Call an callback upon element check failure </li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h1>Other Primitives</h1>
 * <h2>Error statement</h2>
 * Unconditionally return false.
 * <ul>
 *     <li> {@link #error()}</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h2>Context Object Change</h2>
 * Switch the context object.
 * <ul>
 *     <li> {@link #withContext(IStructureElement)}: switch context to the extended context</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h2>Channel Change</h2>
 * Change the channel. See <a href="{@docRoot}/overview-summary.html#channels">Channels section on overview</a> for more information.
 * <ul>
 *     <li> {@link #withChannel(String, IStructureElement)}: switch channel using {@link ChannelDataAccessor#withChannel(ItemStack, String)} when a trigger item is present.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h2>Spawn hint particle</h2>
 * Just spawn a hint. Do nothing otherwise. Useful when you want to override the hint provided by another structure element,
 * or as a fallback to a structure element that is check only.
 * <ul>
 *     <li> {@link #ofHint(int)}, {@link #ofHintDeferred(Supplier)} and its overloads</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h1>Actual Element</h1>
 * These elements are elements that can actually do structure check, spawn hint and do auto place.
 * Elements listed in above 2 sections are not going to be helpful without elements like these.
 * They also serve as a reference implementation for your own custom {@link IStructureElement} implementations.
 * <h2>Simple Block Element</h2>
 * These accept one or more different block types in one location.
 * <ul>
 *     <li>{@link #ofBlock(Block, int, Block, int)}, {@link #ofBlocksFlat(Map, Block, int)}, {@link #ofBlocksMap(Map, Block, int)}
 *     and their overloads: the most basic form</li>
 *     <li>{@link #ofBlockHint(Block, int, Block, int)}, {@link #ofBlocksFlatHint(Map, Block, int)}, {@link #ofBlocksMapHint(Map, Block, int)}:
 *     these are the same as above, but will not do autoplace</li>
 *     <li>{@link #isAir()}, {@link #notAir()}: They are supplied by default under the identifier {@code '-'} and {@code '+'}
 *     respectively, but are provided here regardless in case you want to use them as a fallback.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <h2>Complex Block Element</h2>
 * In case your logic on determining which block is accepted is complex, use these.
 * <ul>
 *     <li>{@link #ofBlockAdder(IBlockAdder, Block, int)}, {@link #ofBlockAdderHint(IBlockAdder, Block, int)} and their
 *     overloads: hands off actual adder logic to an {@link IBlockAdder} you supplied. Save you the boilerplate of querying
 *     block type and block meta from {@link World}</li>
 *     <li>{@link #ofBlocksTiered(ITierConverter, Object, BiConsumer, Function)} and its overloads: accept a series of
 *     blocks that each may have different tier, but only allow one single tier for anywhere this element is used (e.g. coils).</li>
 *     <li>{@link #ofTileAdder(ITileAdder, Block, int)}, {@link #ofSpecificTileAdder(BiPredicate, Class, Block, int)}:
 *     Similar to block adder, but for tile entities.</li>
 * </ul>
 *
 * <h1>Helper Methods</h1>
 * These don't construct a {@link IStructureElement}, but is helpful to the instantiation or implementation of these.
 * <ul>
 *     <li>{@link #survivalPlaceBlock(Block, int, World, int, int, int, IItemSource, EntityPlayerMP, Consumer)} and its overloads:
 *     Helper method to cut common boilerplate for implementing {@link IStructureElement#survivalPlaceBlock(Object, World, int, int, int, ItemStack, IItemSource, EntityPlayerMP, Consumer)}</li>
 *     <li>{@link #getPseudoJavaCode(World, ExtendedFacing, int, int, int, int, int, int, Function, int, int, int, boolean)}:
 *     Generate a structure code template from existing structure.</li>
 *     <li>{@link #iterate(World, ExtendedFacing, int, int, int, int, int, int, boolean, int, int, int, IBlockPosConsumer, Runnable, Runnable)}
 *     and its overloads: help iterate over a coordinate space.</li>
 * </ul>

     * Element representing a component with different tiers. Your multi will accept any of them (as long as
     * player does not mix them (*)), but would like to know which is used. Player can use more blueprint to get
     * hints denoting more advanced components.
     * <p>
     * (*): Implementation wise, this structure element will only accept a block if its tier is the same as existing tier or
     * if existing tier is unset (i.e. value of third argument)
     * <p>
     * Above all else, you need to decide what tier you are going to use. For simpler cases, Integer is a good choice.
     * You can also use an existing Enum. Tier can never be null though.
     * It can also be a String or a {@link net.minecraft.util.ResourceLocation}, or basically anything.
     * It doesn't even have to implement {@link Comparable}.
     * <p>
     * This assumes you will reset the backing storage, and on the first occurrence getter would return notSet.
     * You can also make getter to return other value to forcefully select a certain tier, but you're probably better
     * off using block adders or {@link #ofBlock(Block, int, Block, int)} and its overloads
     * <p>
     * Implementation wise, this allows a block only when we don't yet have a tier, or the block at that location has
     * the same tier as we already have.
     * <p>
     * There is yet no TileEntity counterpart of this utility. Feel free to submit a PR to add it.
     * <p>
     * For most typical use cases, you will NOT want to return notSet from your tierExtractor. If you do so, we will
     * have this kind of chain of events:
     * <ul>
     * <li>at check start, tier is reset to notSet
     * <li>at first occurrence, ofBlocksTiered finds your current tier is notSet, and the block's tier is notSet, so it's accepted
     * <li>at 2nd, 3rd..., same thing in 2 happens
     * <li>at last occurrence, player placed a valid block with a tier not notSet. ofBlocksTiered now sets your current
     * tier to this tier, and accept the block
     * <li>check got notified structure is sound, and tier is not notSet. it marks the structure as complete and start doing its business
     * <li>Player enjoy a (probably) hilariously shaped multi and (probably) reduced build cost.
     * </ul>
     * <p>
     * <b>Example:</b>
     * <p>
     * Assume you have 16 tier, each map to one block's 16 different meta. You will usually want something like this
