All std::map<Symbol,T> are now SymbolMap<T>, which is just a thin wrapper around std::map. at(Key) is used instead of first checking with find when an exception should be thrown for non-existent keys. This does not change any behavior or timing currently. This check-in also includes some functions in BayesTree for gathering clique statistics.
