 *
 *  @brief  Add and modify unstructured domains to the RNA folding grammar
 *
 *  This module provides the tools to add and modify unstructured domains to the production rules of the RNA folding grammar.
 *  Usually this functionality is utilized for incorporating ligand binding to unpaired stretches of an RNA.
 *
 *  Unstructured domains appear in the production rules of the RNA folding grammar
 *  whereever new unpaired nucleotides are attached to a growing substructure (see also @cite lorenz:2016b):
 *  @image html   Crecursion.svg
 *  @image latex  Crecursion.eps
 *
 *  The white boxes represent the stretch of RNA bound to the ligand and represented by a more or less specific
 *  sequence motif. The motif itself is considered unable to form basepairs. The additional production rule @em U
 *  is used to precompute the contribution of unpaired stretches possibly bound by one or more ligands. The
 *  auxiliary DP matrix for this production rule is filled right before processing the other (regular) production
 *  rules of the RNA folding grammar.
 *
 *  In a context with @ref domains_struc the grammar is extended as follows:
 *
 *  @image html   GCrecursion.svg
 *  @image latex  GCrecursion.eps
 *
 *  @bug  Although the additional production rule(s) for unstructured domains in the descriptions of this feature
 *        are always treated as 'segments possibly bound to one or more ligands', the current implementation requires
 *        that at least one ligand is bound. The default implementation already takes care of the required changes,
 *        however, upon using callback functions other than the default ones, one has to take care of this fact.
 *        Please also note, that this behavior might change in one of the next releases, such that the decomposition
 *        schemes as shown above comply with the actual implementation.
 *
 *  A default implementation allows one to readily use this feature by simply adding sequence motifs and corresponding
 *  binding free energies with the function vrna_ud_add_motif() (see also @ref ligands_up).
 *
 *  The grammar extension is realized using a callback function that
 *  - evaluates the binding free energy of a ligand to its target sequence segment (white boxes in the figures above), or
 *  - returns the free energy of an unpaired stretch possibly bound by a ligand, stored in the additional @em U DP matrix.
 *
 *  The callback is passed the segment positions, the loop context, and which of the two above mentioned
 *  evaluations are required. A second callback implements the pre-processing step that
 *  prepares the @em U DP matrix by evaluating all possible cases of the additional production rule.
 *  Both callbacks have a default implementation in @em RNAlib, but may be over-written by a
 *  user-implementation, making it fully user-customizable.
 *
 *  For equilibrium probability computations, two additional callbacks exist. One to store/add and one to retrieve the
 *  probability of unstructured domains at particular positions. Our implementation already takes care of computing
 *  the probabilities, but users of the unstructured domain feature are required to provide a mechanism to efficiently
 *  store/add the corresponding values into some external data structure.
