---------------------------------------------------+------------------------
 The astar_search function can optionally take as an argument a value to
 use as distance_inf. However, if the Distance value type is anything
 besides the primitive numeric types, a compiler error gets thrown due to
 line 441, where it tries to specialize the std::numeric_limits template
 using the Distance value type. Hopefully, there should be a way to specify
 a default distance_inf value without requiring more general types to be
 primitive types.
