Detailed Description

A complex object to handle different simple types in a uniform way.

Simple types considered: double, int, unsigned int, boolean, short, unsigned short, string, etc. Various simple types are stored into a unique stream, providing a way to handle a generic type. Each simple type can be retrieved from the stream using an appropriate method. For example toInt() or toDouble() return respectively int or double variables.

Warning: a generic type object can be defined from any class, but the adequate conversion function may have to be added.
