/** ValueStorage is a container for any type of value.
 *
 * This is needed to relax inter-dependencies between the Queries and the Actions.
 *
 * The ValueStorage is necessary because we do not a-priori know about the
 * type of a value as given by the user. The type is handled via RTTI (run-time
 * type information), and the value is cast to string stored under a specific
 * token in a map inside this class.
 *
 * Not any value can be stored in this container. We rely on OptionRegistry to allow
 * only tokens whose type has been defined beforehand. I.e. for each option we
 * require a specific and unique type.
 *
 * Then, there are three types of functions:
 * -# queryCurrentValue: request a value under a specific token
 * -# setCurrentValue: set/enter a value under a specific token
 * -# isCurrentValuePresent: ask whether a value under a specific token is contained
 *
 * For the first two we have templated version and a number of specialized ones to
 * deal with some types specific to this code: \ref atom, \ref Box, \ref element,
 * \ref molecule, ...
 *
 * \section ValueStorage-extend ValueStorage extension howto
 *
 * If you ever need to add a particular class to the ValueStorage, do as follows:
 * -# add a specialized queryCurrentValue and setCurrentValue to the definition
 *    of ValueStorage.
 * -# implement both in the declaration of ValueStorage.
 * -# in the implementation either directly implement the serializing of the
 *    class' members to a stringstream or use an already implemented operator<<
 *    or operator<<, respectively.
 *
 * \section ValueStorage-further-info Further information
 *
 * If you want to know in detail how this all works with the options, where they
 * come from and how values end up in the ValueStorage, then look at \ref  actions
 * and \ref  userinterfaces.
