  * Class for storing program parameters.
  * Parameters can be added to and extracted from the parameter object using the element access operator [].
  * Each element is stored by means of an object of type _object, which also stores the original type (all
  * integral types are collapsed to long and char* is collapsed to std::string).
  * When accessing elements, a typecheck is performed. Typecasts are allowed and are similar to the C++ rules
  * for casts. If the lvalue has type double, a cast from any integral type is allowed. If the lvalue has
  * arithmetic type, a boost::lexical_cast is attempted.
  * The class is boost-serializable and implements hdf5 I/O operations.
