// -=- Configuration.h
//
// This header defines a set of classes used to represent configuration
// parameters of different types.  Instances of the different parameter
// types are associated with instances of the Configuration class, and
// are each given a unique name.  The Configuration class provides a
// generic API through which parameters may be located by name and their
// value set, thus removing the need to write platform-specific code.
// Simply defining a new parameter and associating it with a Configuration
// will allow it to be configured by the user.
//
// If no Configuration is specified when creating a Parameter, then the
// global Configuration will be assumed.
//
// Configurations can be "chained" into groups.  Each group has a root
// Configuration, a pointer to which should be passed to the constructors
// of the other group members.  set() and get() operations called on the
// root will iterate through all of the group's members.
//
// NB: On platforms that support Threading, locking is performed to protect
//     complex parameter types from concurrent access (e.g. strings).
// NB: NO LOCKING is performed when linking Configurations to groups
//     or when adding Parameters to Configurations.
