\brief    A class template that performs bilinear interpolation on a
          non-uniform grid with an implementation similar to that of
          genie::BLI2DNonUnifGrid.
 
\details  The main differences between this class template and
          genie::BLI2DNonUnifGrid are
 
            * Values for the z coordinate can be any arbitrary object Object
              that implements the member functions operator*(double),
              operator*(const Object&), and operator+(const Object&)
 
            * Rather than C-style arrays, the grid values are accessed via
              pointers to std::vector objects
 
            * Upper and lower bounds on the grid are found using
              std::lower_bound() rather than a manual linear search
 
            * The genie::BLI2DNonUnifGrid object does not take ownership of the
              grid vectors, which must be stored elsewhere
 
\tparam   ZObject Type of the object describing each z coordinate
\tparam   IndexType Type to use when computing indices in the vectors
\tparam   XType Type used to represent x coordinates
\tparam   YType Type used to represent y coordinates
 
\todo     Think about how to have this class inherit from the other BLI2D
          classes
