 * @class Event
 * @brief LibSBML implementation of SBML's %Event construct.
 * 
 * An Event object defines when the event can occur, the variables that are
 * affected by the event, and how the variables are affected.
 *
 * An Event definition has several parts: an optional identifier (defined
 * by the attribute "id"), an optional name (defined by the attribute
 * "name"), a required trigger condition (defined by an object of class
 * Trigger), and at least one EventAssignment.  In addition, an event can
 * include an optional delay (defined by an object of class Delay).
 *
 * The operation of Event is divided into two phases (even when the event
 * is not delayed): one when the event is @em fired, and the other when the
 * event is @em executed.  Trigger objects define the conditions for firing
 * an event, Delay objects define when the event is actually executed, and
 * EventAssignment objects define the effects of executing the event.
 * Please consult the descriptions of Trigger, Delay and EventAssignment
 * for more information.
 *
 * The optional Delay on Event means there are two times to consider when
 * computing the results of an event: the time at which the event
 * <em>fires</em>, and the time at which assignments are <em>executed</em>.
 * It is also possible to distinguish between the time at which the
 * EventAssignment's expression is calculated, and the time at which the
 * assignment is made: the expression could be evaluated at the same time
 * the assignments are performed, i.e., when the event is
 * <em>executed</em>, but it could also be defined to be evaluated at the
 * time the event <em>fired</em>.
 * 
 * In SBML Level&nbsp;2 versions prior to Version&nbsp;4, the semantics of
 * Event time delays were defined such that the expressions in the event's
 * assignments were always evaluated at the time the event was
 * <em>fired</em>.  This definition made it difficult to define an event
 * whose assignment formulas were meant to be evaluated at the time the
 * event was <em>executed</em> (i.e., after the time period defined by the
 * value of the Delay element).  In SBML Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4, the
 * attribute "useValuesFromTriggerTime" on Event allows a model to indicate
 * the time at which the event's assignments are intended to be evaluated.
 * The default value is @c true, which corresponds to the interpretation of
 * event assignments prior to Version&nbsp;4: the values of the assignment
 * formulas are computed at the moment the event fired, not after the
 * delay.  If "useValuesFromTriggerTime"=@c false, it means that the
 * formulas in the event's assignments are to be computed after the delay,
 * at the time the event is executed.
 *
 * @section version-diffs SBML version differences
 *
 * Definitions of Event in SBML Level&nbsp;2 Versions 1 and 2 included an
 * additional attribute called "timeUnits", which allowed the time units of
 * the Delay to be set explicitly.  Versions&nbsp;3 and&nbsp;4 do not
 * define this attribute.  The LibSBML supports this attribute for
 * compatibility with previous versions of SBML Level&nbsp;2; however, if a
 * Version&nbsp;3 or&nbsp;4 model sets the attribute, the
 * consistency-checking method SBMLDocument::checkConsistency() will report
 * an error.
 *
 * The attribute "useValuesFromTriggerTime" was introduced in SBML
 * Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4.  Models defined in prior Versions of SBML
 * Level&nbsp;2 cannot use this attribute, and
 * SBMLDocument::checkConsistency() will report an error if they do.
 *
 * 
 * @class ListOfEvents
 * @brief LibSBML implementation of SBML's %ListOfEvents construct.
 * 
 * The various ListOf___ classes in %SBML are merely containers used for
 * organizing the main components of an %SBML model.  All are derived from
 * the abstract class SBase, and inherit the various attributes and
 * subelements of SBase, such as "metaid" as and "annotation".  The
 * ListOf___ classes do not add any attributes of their own.
 *
 * The relationship between the lists and the rest of an %SBML model is
 * illustrated by the following (for %SBML Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4):
 *
 * @image html listof-illustration.jpg "ListOf___ elements in an SBML Model"
 * @image latex listof-illustration.jpg "ListOf___ elements in an SBML Model"
 *
 * Readers may wonder about the motivations for using the ListOf___
 * containers.  A simpler approach in XML might be to place the components
 * all directly at the top level of the model definition.  We chose instead
 * to group them within XML elements named after ListOf<em>Classname</em>,
 * in part because we believe this helps organize the components and makes
 * visual reading of models in XML easier.  More importantly, the fact that
 * the container classes are derived from SBase means that software tools
 * can add information about the lists themselves into each list
 * container's "annotation".
