    @brief
        An Interface (or more precisely an abstract class) to model and represent different (all kinds of) pickups.

        Pickups (@ref orxonox::Pickupable "Pickupables") are objects that (quite unsurprisingly) can be picked up. Additionally they can be used and unused (transition from used to not used), and also dropped.

        A class of Pickups can incorporate many different types of pickups (see @ref orxonox::PickupIdentifier "PickupIdentifier"), each type is uniquely defined by a @ref orxonox::PickupIdentifier "PickupIdentifier". Each pickup has such an identifier identiying its type. This means that two pickups of the same type have identifiers which are equal.
