;;; To achieve fair mixing of the groups, the last article in
;;; each of N component groups will be in the the last N articles
;;; in the virtual group.

;;; If you have 3 components A, B and C, with articles 1-8, 1-5, and 6-7
;;; resprectively, then the virtual article numbers look like:
;;;
;;;  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 11 12 13 14 15
;;;  A1 A2 A3 A4 B1 A5 B2 A6 B3 A7 B4 C6 A8 B5 C7

;;; To compute these mappings we generate a couple tables and then
;;; do some fast operations on them.  Tables for the example above:
;;;
;;; Offsets - [(A 0) (B -3) (C -1)]
;;;
;;;               a  b  c  d  e
;;; Mapping - ([  3  0  1  3  0 ]
;;;            [  6  3  2  9  3 ]
;;;            [  8  6  3 15  9 ])
;;;
;;; (note column 'e' is different in real algorithm, which is slightly
;;;  different than described here, but this gives you the methodology.)
;;;
;;; The basic idea is this, when going from component->virtual, apply
;;; the appropriate offset to the article number.  Then search the first
;;; column of the table for a row where 'a' is less than or equal to the
;;; modified number.  You can see that only group A can therefore go to
;;; the first row, groups A and B to the second, and all to the last.
;;; The third column of the table is telling us the number of groups
;;; which might be able to reach that row (it might increase by more than
;;; 1 if several groups have the same size).
;;; Then column 'b' provides an additional offset you apply when you have
;;; found the correct row.  You then multiply by 'c' and add on the groups
;;; _position_ in the offset table.  The basic idea here is that on
;;; any given row we are going to map back and forth using X'=X*c+Y and
;;; X=(X'/c), Y=(X' mod c).  Then once you've done this transformation,
;;; you apply a final offset from column 'e' to give the virtual article.
;;;
;;; Going the other direction, you instead search on column 'd' instead
;;; of 'a', and apply everything in reverse order.

;;; Convert component -> virtual:
;;; set num = num - Offset(group)
;;; find first row in Mapping where num <= 'a'
;;; num = (num-'b')*c + Position(group) + 'e'

;;; Convert virtual -> component:
;;; find first row in Mapping where num <= 'd'
;;; num = num - 'e'
;;; group_pos = num mod 'c'
;;; num = (num / 'c') + 'b' + Offset(group_pos)

;;; Easy no? :)
;;;
;;; Well actually, you need to keep column e offset smaller by the 'c'
;;; column for that line, and always add 1 more when going from
;;; component -> virtual.  Otherwise you run into a problem with
;;; unique reverse mapping.
