     * \brief Least-Mean-Square Decision Directed Equalizer (complex in/out)
     * \ingroup equalizers_blk
     *
     * \details
     * This block implements an LMS-based decision-directed equalizer.
     * It uses a set of weights, w, to correlate against the inputs,
     * u, and a decisions is then made from this output. The error in
     * the decision is used to update the weight vector.
     *
     * y[n] = conj(w[n]) u[n]
     * d[n] = decision(y[n])
     * e[n] = d[n] - y[n]
     * w[n+1] = w[n] + mu u[n] conj(e[n])
     *
     * Where mu is a gain value (between 0 and 1 and usualy small,
     * around 0.001 - 0.01.
     *
     * This block uses the digital_constellation object for making the
     * decision from y[n]. Create the constellation object for
     * whatever constellation is to be used and pass in the object.
     * In Python, you can use something like:
     *
     *    self.constellation = digital.constellation_qpsk()
     *
     * To create a QPSK constellation (see the digital_constellation
     * block for more details as to what constellations are available
     * or how to create your own). You then pass the object to this
     * block as an sptr, or using "self.constellation.base()".
     *
     * The theory for this algorithm can be found in Chapter 9 of:
     * S. Haykin, Adaptive Filter Theory, Upper Saddle River, NJ:
     *    Prentice Hall, 1996.
