/**
* Purpose:     NCollection_BaseCollection  is the base  abstract  class for 
*              all collection templates of this package.
*              The set  of collections is similar  to that  of TCollection.
*              Also  the methods of classes  have mostly the same names for
*              easy switch from TCollection <-> NCollection containers.
*              
*              NCollection is a nocdlpack, thus it is compiled without WOK.
*              BaseCollection allows assigning the collections of different
*              kinds  (the  items  type  being the same) with a few obvious
*              exclusions - one can not  assign any  collection to  the map 
*              having double data (two keys or a key  plus value). Only the 
*              maps of the very same type may be assigned through operator=
*              Said maps are: DoubleMap,
*                             DataMap,
*                             IndexedDataMap
*              
*              For the  users  needing  control  over the memory  usage the
*              allocators were added (see NCollection_BaseAllocator header)
*              Others may forget it -  BaseAllocator is used by default and
*              then memory is managed through Standard::Allocate/::Free.
