/** 
 * LibSBML implementation of SBML Level&nbsp;2's SpeciesType construct.
 * <p>
 * The term <em>species</em> <em>type</em> refers to reacting entities independent of
 * location.  These include simple ions (e.g., protons, calcium), simple
 * molecules (e.g., glucose, ATP), large molecules (e.g., RNA,
 * polysaccharides, and proteins), and others.
 * <p>
 * SBML Level&nbsp;2 Versions&nbsp;2&ndash;4 provide an explicit
 * {@link SpeciesType} class of object to enable {@link Species} objects of the same type
 * to be related together.  {@link SpeciesType} is a conceptual construct; the
 * existence of {@link SpeciesType} objects in a model has no effect on the model's
 * numerical interpretation.  Except for the requirement for uniqueness of
 * species/species type combinations located in compartments, simulators
 * and other numerical analysis software may ignore {@link SpeciesType} definitions
 * and references to them in a model.
 * <p>
 * There is no mechanism in SBML Level 2 for representing hierarchies of
 * species types.  One {@link SpeciesType} object cannot be the subtype of another
 * {@link SpeciesType} object; SBML provides no means of defining such
 * relationships.
 * <p>
 * As with other major structures in SBML, {@link SpeciesType} has a mandatory
 * attribute, 'id', used to give the species type an identifier.  The
 * identifier must be a text string conforming to the identifer syntax
 * permitted in SBML.  {@link SpeciesType} also has an optional 'name' attribute,
 * of type <code>string</code>.  The 'id' and 'name' 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).
 * <p>
 * {@link SpeciesType} was introduced in SBML Level 2 Version 2.  It is not
 * available in SBML Level&nbsp;1 nor in Level&nbsp;3.

<code>SId</code>, which defines the permitted syntax of identifiers.  We
express the syntax using an extended form of BNF notation: 
<p>
<code style='margin-left: 2em'>letter .= 'a'..'z','A'..'Z'</code><br>
<code style='margin-left: 2em'>digit  .= '0'..'9'</code><br>
<code style='margin-left: 2em'>idChar .= letter | digit | '_'</code><br>
<code style='margin-left: 2em'>SId    .= ( letter | '_' ) idChar*</code><br>
<p>
The characters <code>(</code> and <code>)</code> are used for grouping, the
character <code>*</code> 'zero or more times', and the character
<code>|</code> indicates logical 'or'.  The equality of SBML identifiers is
determined by an exact character sequence match; i.e., comparisons must be
performed in a case-sensitive manner.  In addition, there are a few
conditions for the uniqueness of identifiers in an SBML model.  Please
consult the SBML specifications for the exact formulations.
