28// Typical usage
29// -------------
30//
31// Given a configuration file "settings.inp":
32// atoms = 25
33// length = 8.0 # nanometers
34// name = Reece Surcher
35//
36// Named values are read in various ways, with or without default values:
37// ConfigFile config( "settings.inp" );
38// int atoms = config.read<int>( "atoms" );
39// double length = config.read( "length", 10.0 );
40// string author, title;
41// config.readInto( author, "name" );
42// config.readInto( title, "title", string("Untitled") );
43//
44// See file example.cpp for more examples.

240// v1.0 21 May 1999
241// + First release
242// + Template read() access only through non-member readConfigFile()
243// + ConfigurationFileBool is only built-in helper class
244//

246// + Shortened name from ConfigurationFile to ConfigFile
247// + Implemented template member functions
248// + Changed default comment separator from % to #
249// + Enabled reading of multiple-line values
250//
251// v2.1 24 May 2004
252// + Made template specializations inline to avoid compiler-dependent linkage
253// + Allowed comments within multiple-line values
254// + Enabled blank line termination for multiple-line values
255// + Added optional sentry to detect end of configuration file
256// + Rewrote messy trimWhitespace() function as elegant trim()
