//
// This module is a bag of unrelated mini-modules, classes and
// global functions. The following functional groups can be recognized:
// <ul>
// <li> Object utilities:
// <ul>
// <li> <linkto class=ObjCompare>ObjCompare</linkto>
// objects with each other. A signature for comparison functions
// is defined (required for comparison functions used in the
// <linkto class=Sort>Sort</linkto>
// class), and one such function is provided.
// <li> <linkto group="Copy.h#copy">objcopy/objmove/objset</linkto>
// copies objects from one place to another.
// <li> <linkto class=Fallible>Mark</linkto>
// objects as valid or invalid.
// <li> <linkto class=Notice>Notices</linkto>
// provide basic support for shared access of data by various objects.
// <li> <linkto class=Sort>Sort</linkto>
// objects on one or more keys, in ascending or descending order.
// <linkto class=GenSort>Fast sorting</linkto>
// is provided for certain types of objects.
// <li> <linkto group="BinarySearch.h#binarysearch">Binary Search</linkto>
// templated functions for sorted containers (ascending or descending
// order) are available.
// <li> <linkto group="LinearSearch.h#linearsearch">Linear Search</linkto>
// templated functions for unsorted containers are available.
// </ul>
// <li> Logical utilities:
// <ul>
// <li> <linkto class=assert_>Assertion</linkto>
// lets you throw an error when a condition in not fullfilled.
// <li> <linkto class=BitVector>Bit vectors</linkto>
// are an efficient method to keep True/False information on a set of
// items or conditions.
// </ul>
// <li> Pointer utilities
// <ul>
// <li> <linkto class=CountedPtr>Counted pointers</linkto>
// provide support for reference counting.
// </ul>
// <li> Datatype utilities
// <ul>
// <li> <linkto group="DataType.h#DataType">DataType</linkto>
// enumerates the possible data types in the table system.
// <li> <linkto class=ValType>ValType</linkto>
// describes the data types and their undefined values.
// </ul>
// <li> Other utilities
// <ul>
// <li> <linkto class=DynBuffer>Dynamic buffers</linkto>
// are used to store data in dynamically allocated buffers.
// <li> <linkto class=Regex>Regular expressions</linkto>
// are supported by the class <linkto class=Regex>Regex</linkto>
// built on top of std::regex.
// <li> <linkto class=Sequence>Sequences</linkto>
// of any datatype can be derived from the base class
// <linkto class=Sequence>Sequence</linkto>.
// One example is <linkto class=uIntSequence>uIntSequence</linkto>,
// provided for general use.
// <li> <linkto class=String>Strings</linkto>.
// for the C++ preprocessor
// </ul>
// </ul>
//
// <note role=tip> You may want to look at the individual header files
// to see whether you might not prefer to include only the header
// files you really need; it may be more efficient to do so.
// </note>
