/**
@file
@ingroup SingletonScope
@brief Declaration of the classes that are needed to use Scopes: orxonox::Scope and orxonox::ScopeListener.

@anchor Scope

A virtual scope can be represented by an instance of class orxonox::Scope. orxonox::Scope<@a scope> is a template
an its template argument defines the name of the virtual scope. See orxonox::ScopeID for an enumeration of the
available values for @a scope. The orxonox::Scope object for a given @a scope can be activated or deactivated.
Instances of orxonox::ScopeListener can register in orxonox::ScopeMAnager for a given @a scope and will get a
notification if the corresponding orxonox::Scope object changes its state.

Scopes are usually used to control the creation and destruction of Singletons.

@see orxonox::Singleton
