/**
 *      A Spatial1DSubpopulation is an EC subpopulation that is additionally embedded into
 *      a one-dimmensional space.
 *      In a spatially-embedded EA, the subpopulations of individuals are assumed to be
 *      spatially distributed in some sort of space, be it one-dimmensional, two-
 *      dimmensional, or whatever else.  The space may or may not be toroidal (although
 *      it usually is).  Each location in the space has a set of neighboring locations.
 *      Thus, each individual has an index in the subpopulation, and also a location in
 *      the space.
 *
 *      
This public interface provides a method to obtain the indexes of the neighbors
 *      of a location.
 *
 *      
This Subpopulation does not include toroidalness in writing out to streams.
