/**
    @file
    @ingroup Class
    @brief Declaration of the ClassTreeMask, ClassTreeMaskNode, and ClassTreeMaskIterator classes.

    ClassTreeMask is a class to define a mask of the class-tree beginning with orxonox::BaseObject.
    You can include or exclude classes by calling the corresponding functions with the
    orxonox::Identifier of the class. This mask can then be used to filter out objects that
    are instances of classes which aren't included in the tree, for example when Loading a
    level file or if a Trigger should be triggered by only a few classes.

    See the description of orxonox::ClassTreeMask for a short example.

    You can work with a ClassTreeMask in the sense of the set-theory, meaning that you can create
    unions, intersections, complements and differences by using overloaded operators.

    @par Tree structure

    The ClassTreeMask is internally represented by a tree. The nodes in the tree are
    ClassTreeMaskNodes, containing the rule (included or excluded) for this class and all
    subclasses and a list of all subnodes. To minimize the size, the tree contains only
    nodes changing the mask. By adding new rules, the tree gets reordered dynamically.

    Adding a new rule overwrites all rules assigned to inherited classes. Use <tt>overwrite = false</tt>
    if you don't like this feature. Useless rules that don't change the information of the mask
    aren't saved in the internal tree. Use <tt>clean = false</tt> if you still want to save them.

    With <tt>overwrite = false</tt> and <tt>clean = false</tt> it doesn't matter in which order
    you create the mask. You can manually drop useless rules from the tree by calling
    @ref orxonox::ClassTreeMask::clean() "clean()".

    @par Objects

    To iterate through all objects of the classes that were included by a ClassTreeMask,
    use orxonox::ClassTreeMaskObjectIterator. The description of this class also contains
    a short example of how to use it.

    /**
        @brief The ClassTreeMaskIterator moves through all ClassTreeMaskNodes of the internal tree of a ClassTreeMask which contains the rules.

        Because of the complicated shape of the internal rule-tree of ClassTreeMask, an
        iterator is used to move through all nodes of the tree. It starts with the BaseObject
        and moves on to the first subclass until it reaches a leaf of the tree. Then the
        iterator moves one step back and iterates to the second subclass. If there are no more
        subclasses, it steps another step back, and so on.

        Example: A and B are children of BaseObject, A1 and A2 are children of A, B1 and B2 are children of B.
        The ClassTreeMaskIterator would move trough the tree in the following order:
        BaseObject, A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2.

        Note that the iterator doesn't move trough the whole class-tree, but only through the
        internal tree of the mask, containing the minimal needed set of nodes to describe the mask.

        @brief The ClassTreeMask is a set of rules, containing the information for each class whether it's included or not.

        With a ClassTreeMask, you can include or exclude subtrees of the class-tree, starting
        with a given subclass, described by the corresponding Identifier. To minimize the size
        of the mask, the mask saves only relevant rules. But you can manually add rules that
        don't change the information of the mask by using <tt>clean = false</tt>. If you want to drop
        useless rules, call the clean() function.

        mymask.exclude(Class(B));
        mymask.include(Class(ChildOfA));
        @endcode

        In this example, the classes A and B are excluded from the mask, but one of the child
        classes of A is included again.

        @note The ClassTreeMaskObjectIterator handles all objects as BaseObjects. If
              you want to use another class, you should use a dynamic_cast.

        The performance of ClassTreeMaskObjectIterator is good as long as you don't exclude
        subclasses of included classes. Of course you can still exlucde subclasses, but
        if this is done more often, we need a new implementation using a second ObjectList
        in the Identifier, containing all objects of exactly one class.
