Detailed Description
A combined factor is assembled as one block of rows for each component factor.
In each row-block (factor), some of the column-blocks (variables) may be empty since factors involving different sets of variables are interleaved.
VariableSlots describes the 2D block structure of the combined factor. It is a map<Key, vector<size_t> >. The Key is the real variable index of the combined factor slot. The vector<size_t> tells, for each row-block (factor), which column-block (variable slot) from the component factor appears in this block of the combined factor.
As an example, if the combined factor contains variables 1, 3, and 5, then "variableSlots[3][2] == 0" indicates that column-block 1 (corresponding to variable index 3), row-block 2 (also meaning component factor 2), comes from column-block 0 of component factor 2.
