// <synopsis>
// This module provides non-mathematical containers. These containers are the
// prototypical computer science types of containers --
// <linkto class="Record">records</linkto> and <linkto class=Block>simple
// arrays</linkto>. These classes are useful for all of the various types of low
// level data management. In general, these classes will have familiar semantics
// and an unsurprising interface.
// Note that Casacore used to have classes such as Map and List, but they
// became obsolete when the Standard C++ Library was introduced. Therefore these
// classes have been removed.
//
// Most of the important classes in this module also have IO shift operators,
// e.g. for <linkto file=BlockIO.h#BlockIO>writing out a Block</linkto> (simple
// array). These operators typically allow the container (and the objects it
// contains) to be written out to both <linkto class=AipsIO>AipsIO</linkto> and
// the standard <em>ostream</em>.
//
// The class Block has the option to trace (de)allocations for Blocks with
// a size above a given threshold. It uses class MemoryTrace to log the
// trace messages. Unlike MemoryTrace, it also works on non-Linux systems.
// Since class Array uses Block underneath, it makes it possible to trace
// Array usage.
