// The following class must be a base class of any class wishing to 
// use the form_finder class; the using class must implement some or 
// all of these virtual functions before creating a form_finder with 
// "this" as first parameter in the constructor:
//
// In all cases implement opmat, matdim, matden, use;  implement eigrange
// iff you are going to use the recursive search function find()
// 
// opmat(i) returns the i'th operator for i>=0; opmat(-1) should return
// the conjugation matrix in the case where target dimension is 2 (i.e.
// plusflag=0) and basis vectors bplus, bminus are required.
//
// matdim() returns the size of the matrices, i.e. dimension of ambient space
//
// matden() returns the implicit denominator of all matrices, needed to scale 
//          eigenvalues
//
// eigrange(i) returns a list of possible eigenvalues for opmat(i)
//
// use(basis1, basis2, eiglist) provides whatever processing is done with the
//                              1-dimensional eigenspaces as found.
//                             (basis2 will not be used when plusflag=1)
