     30    @file MultiType.h
     31    @brief Declaration of the MultiType and some helper constructs.
     32
     33    The MultiType can hold a value of one of the following types:
     34     - all primitives
     35     - all pointers
     36     - string
     37     - Vector2, Vector3, Vector4
     38     - Quaternion
     39     - ColourValue
     40     - Radian, Degree
     41
     42    The MultiType has a "type" determined by the first assigned value, either through
     43     - the constructor,
     44     - the assignment operator= or
     45     - setValue(value).
     46    If you assign another value of another type, the MultiType keeps "it's" type and
     47    converts the new value to this type.
     48
     49    If you want to change the type, there are three possibilities:
     50     - convert<T>() set's the type to T and converts the currently assigned value
     51     - setType<T>() set's the type to T and resets the value
     52     - setValue<T>(value) assigns a new value and changes the type to T.
     53
     54    @example
     55    MultiType a = 10;;         // a has now the type int and the value 10
     56    a.setValue("3.14");        // a has still the type int and "3.14" gets converted, therefore the value is now 3
     57    a.setValue<float>("3.14"); // a has now the type float and "3.14" gets converted to 3.14
     58    a.convert<bool>();         // converts 3.14 to bool, which is true
     59    a = false;                 // assigns false, this is equivalent to a.setValue(false)

     103    @brief The MultiType can hold a value of many possible types and convert them to other types.
     104
     105    The following types are supported by the MultiType:
     106     - all primitves
     107     - all pointers
     108     - string
     109     - Vector2, Vector3, Vector4
     110     - Quaternion
     111     - ColourValue
     112     - Radian, Degree
     113
     114    The internal type of a MultiType is determined by the first assigned value, but can be
     115    changed by using setType<T>(), convert<T>() or setValue<T>(value). If a value gets assigned
     116    the normal way (operator=, setValue(value)), the value gets converted to the current internal
     117    type of the MultiType.
