//! SelectType is the basis used for SELECT_TYPE definitions from
//! the EXPRESS form. A SELECT_TYPE in EXPRESS is an enumeration
//! of Types, it corresponds in a way to a Super-Type, but with
//! no specific Methods, and no exclusivity (a given Type can be
//! member of several SELECT_TYPES, plus be itself a SUB_TYPE).
//!
//! A SelectType can be field of a Transient Entity or only used
//! to control an input Argument
//!
//! This class implies to designate each member Type by a Case
//! Number which is a positive Integer value (this allows a faster
//! treatement).
//!
//! With this class, a specific SelectType can :
//! - recognize an Entity as complying or not with its definition,
//! - storing it, with the garanty that the stored Entity complies
//! with the definition of the SelectType
//! - and (if judged useful) give the stored Entity under the good
//! Type rather than simply "Transient".
