 * @class Parameter.
 * @brief LibSBML implementation of %SBML's %Parameter construct.
 *
 * A Parameter is used in %SBML to define a symbol associated with a value;
 * this symbol can then be used in mathematical formulas in a model.  By
 * default, parameters have constant value for the duration of a
 * simulation, and for this reason are called @em parameters instead of @em
 * variables in %SBML, although it is crucial to understand that <em>%SBML
 * parameters represent both concepts</em>.  Whether a given %SBML
 * parameter is intended to be constant or variable is indicated by the
 * value of its "constant" attribute.
 * 
 * %SBML's Parameter has one required attribute, "id", to give the
 * parameter a unique identifier by which other parts of an %SBML model
 * definition can refer to it.  A parameter can also have an optional
 * "name" attribute of type @c string.  Identifiers and names must be used
 * according to the guidelines described in the %SBML specification (e.g.,
 * Section 3.3 in the Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4 specification).
 * 
 * The optional attribute "value" determines the value (of type @c double)
 * assigned to the identifier.  A missing value for "value" implies that
 * the value either is unknown, or to be obtained from an external source,
 * or determined by an initial assignment.  The units associated with the
 * value of the parameter are specified by the attribute named "units".
 * The value assigned to the parameter's "units" attribute must be chosen
 * from one of the following possibilities: one of the base unit
 * identifiers defined in %SBML; one of the built-in unit identifiers @c
 * "substance", @c "time", @c "volume", @c "area" or @c "length"; or the
 * identifier of a new unit defined in the list of unit definitions in the
 * enclosing Model structure.  There are no constraints on the units that
 * can be chosen from these sets.  There are no default units for
 * parameters.  Please consult the %SBML specification documents for more
 * details about the meanings and implications of the various unit choices.
 * 
 * The Parameter structure has an optional boolean attribute named
 * "constant" that indicates whether the parameter's value can vary during
 * a simulation.  The attribute's default value is @c true.  A value of @c
 * false indicates the parameter's value can be changed by Rule constructs
 * and that the "value" attribute is actually intended to be the initial
 * value of the parameter. Parameters local to a reaction (that is, those
 * defined within the KineticLaw structure of a Reaction) cannot be changed
 * by rules and therefore are implicitly always constant; thus, parameter
 * definitions within Reaction structures should @em not have their
 * "constant" attribute set to @c false.
 * 
 * What if a global parameter has its "constant" attribute set to @c false,
 * but the model does not contain any rules, events or other constructs
 * that ever change its value over time?  Although the model may be
 * suspect, this situation is not strictly an error.  A value of @c false
 * for "constant" only indicates that a parameter @em can change value, not
 * that it @em must.
 *
 * As with all other major %SBML components, Parameter is derived from
 * SBase, and the methods defined on SBase are available on Parameter.
 *
 * @see ListOfParameters
 * @see KineticLaw
 * 
 * @note The use of the term @em parameter in %SBML sometimes leads to
 * confusion among readers who have a particular notion of what something
 * called "parameter" should be.  It has been the source of heated debate,
 * but despite this, no one has yet found an adequate replacement term that
 * does not have different connotations to different people and hence leads
 * to confusion among @em some subset of users.  Perhaps it would have been
 * better to have two constructs, one called @em constants and the other
 * called @em variables.  The current approach in %SBML is simply more
 * parsimonious, using a single Parameter construct with the boolean flag
 * "constant" indicating which flavor it is.  In any case, readers are
 * implored to look past their particular definition of a @em parameter and
 * simply view %SBML's Parameter as a single mechanism for defining both
 * constants and (additional) variables in a model.  (We write @em
 * additional because the species in a model are usually considered to be
 * the central variables.)  After all, software tools are not required to
 * expose to users the actual names of particular %SBML constructs, and
 * thus tools can present to their users whatever terms their designers
 * feel best matches their target audience.
 *
 * <!-- leave this next break as-is to work around some doxygen bug -->

/**
 * @class ListOfParameters.
 * @brief LibSBML implementation of SBML's %ListOfParameters 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".
