//! This class manages categories
//! A category is defined by a name and a number, and can be
//! seen as a way of rough classification, i.e. less precise than
//! a cdl type.
//! Hence, it is possible to dispatch every entity in about
//! a dozen of categories, twenty is a reasonable maximum.
//!
//! Basically, the system provides the following categories :
//! Shape (Geometry, BRep, CSG, Features, etc...)
//! Drawing (Drawing, Views, Annotations, Pictures, Scketches ...)
//! Structure (Component & Part, Groups & Patterns ...)
//! Description (Meta-Data : Relations, Properties, Product ...)
//! Auxiliary   (those which do not enter in the above list)
//! and some dedicated categories
//! FEA , Kinematics , Piping , etc...
//! plus Professional  for other dedicated non-classed categories
//!
//! In addition, this class provides a way to compute then quickly
//! query category numbers for an entire model.
//! Values are just recorded as a list of numbers, control must
//! then be done in a wider context (which must provide a Graph)
