Container for the value of a Property.
The Value class is very similar to the C union type (although not as memory efficient): it can hold several type of values, but only one at a time. Care must be taken to ensure only the member that was set is retrieved. The purpose of the Value class is to be used together with the Property class: code determines dynamicaly the type of a Property, reads the corresponding value appropriateley (e.g. from XML or from the Yorick prompt), stores the value in a Value instance, and sets the Property using the Object::set() method. Likewise, the Object::get() method returns a Gyoto::Value. Property::type must be used to determine which member of the Value is meaningful.
Casting between Value and the various data type it can hold is normally automatic, but the members can also be accessed explicitly make code more easy to read and less ambiguous.
