This section gives an overview of Tools.h++, and highlights some common points among the
classes.
Tools.h++ provides implementation, not policy. Hence, it consists mostly of a large and rich set
of concrete classes that are usable in isolation and independent of other classes for their
implementation or semantics. They can be pulled out and used just one or two at a time.
Concrete classes are the heart of Tools.h++.
Tools.h++ also includes a rich set of abstract base classes, which define an interface for
