     *
     * \details
     * This is a base class to implement an adaptive FIR
     * filter. Generally, another block will inherit from this one to
     * build a new type of adaptive filter such as an equalizer.
     *
     * This class implements two functions that are designed to be
     * overloaded by the child class: error(gr_complex out) and
     * update_tap(gr_complex tap, gr_complex in).
     *
     * The error() function calculates the error value that will be
     * used to adjust the taps. The update_tap function then uses the
     * error and the input signal value to update a particular
     * tap. Typically, the error is calculated for a given output and
     * then this is used in a loop to update all of the filter taps in
     * a loop:
     *
     * \code
     *     d_error = error(sum);
     *     for(k = 0; k < l; k++) {
     *       update_tap(d_taps[ntaps-k-1], in[i+k]);
     *     }
     * \endcode
     *
     * See digital::cma_equalizer_cc and digital::lms_dd_equalizer_cc
     * for example usage.
