/**
 * @brief An ordered sequence of transitions which describe
 * the evolution of a process undergoing model checking
 *
 * An execution conceptually is just a string of actors
 * ids (e.g. "1.2.3.1.2.2.1.1"), where the `i`th occurrence
 * of actor id `j` corresponds to the `i`th action executed
 * by the actor with id `j` (viz. the `i`th step of actor `j`).
 * Executions can stand alone on their own or can extend
 * the execution of other sequences
 *
 * Executions are conceived based on the following papers:
 * 1. "Source Sets: A Foundation for Optimal Dynamic Partial Order Reduction"
 * by Abdulla et al.
 *
 * In addition to representing an actual steps taken,
 * an execution keeps track of the "happens-before"
 * relation among the transitions in the execution
 * by following the procedure outlined in section 4 of the
 * original DPOR paper with clock vectors.
 * As new transitions are added to the execution, clock vectors are
 * computed as appropriate and associated with the corresponding position
 * in the execution. This allows us to determine “happens-before” in
 * constant-time between points in the execution (called events
 * [which is unfortunately the same name used in UDPOR for a slightly
 * different concept]), albeit for an up-front cost of traversing the
 * execution stack. The happens-before relation is important in many
 * places in SDPOR and ODPOR.
 *
 * @note: For more nuanced happens-before relations, clock
 * vectors may not always suffice. Clock vectors work
 * well with transition-based dependencies like that used in
 * SimGrid; but to have a more refined independence relation,
 * an event-based dependency approach is needed. See the section 2
 * in the ODPOR paper [1] concerning event-based dependencies and
 * how the happens-before relation can be refined in a
 * computation model much like that of SimGrid. In fact, the same issue
 * arrises with UDPOR with context-sensitive dependencies:
 * the two concepts are analogous if not identical

   * @brief Computes the "core" portion the SDPOR algorithm,

   * to the execution
   *
   * The "core" portion of the SDPOR algorithm is found on
   * lines 6-9 of the pseudocode:
   *
   * 6 | let E' := pre(E, e)
   * 7 | let v :=  notdep(e, E).p
   * 8 | if I_[E'](v) ∩ backtrack(E') = empty then
   * 9 |    --> add some q in I_[E'](v) to backtrack(E')
   *
   * This method computes all of the lines simultaneously,
   * returning some actor `q` if it passes line 8 and exists.
   * The event `e` and the set `backtrack(E')` are the provided
   * arguments to the method.
   *
   * @param e the event with respect to which to determine
   * whether a backtrack point needs to be added for the
   * prefix corresponding to the execution prior to `e`

   * @param backtrack_set The set of actors which should
   * not be considered for selection as an SDPOR initial.
   * While this set need not necessarily correspond to the
   * backtrack set `backtrack(E')`, doing so provides what
   * is expected for SDPOR
   *
   * See the SDPOR algorithm pseudocode in [1] for more
   * details for the context of the function.

   * @invariant: This method assumes that events `e` and
   * `e' := get_latest_event_handle()` are in a *reversible* race
   * as is explicitly the case in SDPOR
   *
   * @returns an actor not contained in `disqualified` which
   * can serve as an initial to reverse the race between `e`
