/**
* Class Combinatory
* Creates and returns an Array with all possibilities for n vars with a k class.
* For more info about Combinatory Logic, visits this site:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatory_logic
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* EXAMPLES:
* $container = Array( '3', '1', '2' );
* $c = &new Combinatory('-'); // note that separator('-') is optional
* $matches = &$c->result( $container, 2, "Cn,k" ); // 2 is the class or combination possibility, Pn is the method
* // METHODS TO CALCULATE: Pn - Pn(k) - Dn,k - D'n,k - Cn,k - C'n,k
*
* echo count( $matches );
* echo '<pre>';
* var_dump( $matches );
* echo '</pre>';
*
* //OUTPUT
* 3
* array(3) {
* [0]=>
* string(3) "3-1"
* [1]=>
* string(3) "3-2"
* [2]=>
* string(3) "1-2"
* }
