public interface DependencyPermutationFunction<T extends Vector>

An interface for permuting a Vector based on a dependecny path, represented as a list of DependencyRelations. Implemenations are recomended to extend existing PermutationFunctions but simply using an existing PermutationFunction. Implementations are also suggested to be thread-safe.
