# Parameter description classes
#
# The _params dictionary in each class maps parameter names to either
# a Param or a VectorParam object.  These objects contain the
# parameter description string, the parameter type, and the default
# value (if any).  The convert() method on these objects is used to
# force whatever value is assigned to the parameter to the appropriate
# type.
#
# Note that the default values are loaded into the class's attribute
# space when the parameter dictionary is initialized (in
# MetaSimObject._new_param()); after that point they aren't used.

# Enumerated types are a little more complex.  The user specifies the
# type as Enum(foo) where foo is either a list or dictionary of
# alternatives (typically strings, but not necessarily so).  (In the
# long run, the integer value of the parameter will be the list index
# or the corresponding dictionary value.  For now, since we only check
# that the alternative is valid and then spit it into a .ini file,
# there's not much point in using the dictionary.)

# What Enum() must do is generate a new type encapsulating the
# provided list/dictionary so that specific values of the parameter
# can be instances of that type.  We define two hidden internal
# classes (_ListEnum and _DictEnum) to serve as base classes, then
# derive the new type from the appropriate base class on the fly.
