     30    @brief Definition and Implementation of the ClassManager template.
     31
     32    The ClassManager is a helper-class for ClassIdentifier. Because ClassIdentifiers must
     33    be unique, they are created through the IdentifierDistributor-class to assure the
     34    uniqueness of the ClassIdentifier. But accessing Identifiers through IdentifierDistributor
     35    is slow, because it uses strings and a map. Thats why we use the ClassManager-template: It's
     36    a singleton like ClassIdentifier, but it doesn't hurt if there are multiple instances in
     37    different libraries, because they all store the same pointer to the unique ClassIdentifier
     38    which they've retrieved through IdentifierDistributor.

     30    @brief Definition of the ClassTreeMask, ClassTreeMaskNode and ClassTreeMaskIterator classes.
     31
     32    ClassTreeMask is a class to define a mask of the class-tree beginning with BaseObject.
     33    You can include or exclude classes by calling the corresponding functions with the
     34    Identifier of the class.
     35
     36    You can work with a ClassTreeMask in the sense of the set theory, meaning that you can create
     37    unions, intersections, complements and differences by using overloaded operators.
     38
     39    The ClassTreeMask is internally represented by a tree. The nodes in the tree are
     40    ClassTreeMaskNodes, containing the rule (included or excluded) for this class and all
     41    subclasses and a list of all subnodes. To minimize the size, the tree contains only
     42    nodes changing the mask. By adding new rules, the tree gets reordered dynamically.
     43
     44    You can manually add useless rules and they stay in the tree. That way you can add rules in
     45    any order without changing information of the resulting mask. Example: A new mask includes all
     46    classes. Now you explicitly include a subclass. This seems to be useless. But if you exclude a
     47    baseclass of the formerly included subclass, the subclass stays included. You could create the
     48    same mask by first excluding the baseclass and then including the subclass. You can drop
     49    useless rules from the tree by calling clean().
     50
     51    Because of the complicated shape of the internal tree, there is an iterator to iterate
     52    through all ClassTreeMaskNodes of a mask. It starts with the BaseObject and moves on to
     53    the first subclass until it reaches a leaf of the tree. Then the iterator moves one step
     54    back and iterates to the second subclass. If there are no more subclasses, it steps another
     55    step back, and so on.
     56
     57    Example: A and B are childs of BaseObject, A1 and A2 are childs of A, B1 and B2 are childs of B.
     58    The ClassTreeMaskIterator would move trough the tree in the following order:
     59    BaseObject, A, A1, A2, B, B1, B2.
     60
     61    Note that the iterator doesn't move trough the whole class-tree, but only through the
     62    internal tree of the mask, containing the minimal needed set of nodes to describe the mask.
