/*!
 * \brief The class represents an attribute name in containers used by the library
 *
 * The class mostly serves for optimization purposes. Each attribute name that is used
 * with the library is automatically associated with a unique identifier, which is much
 * lighter in terms of memory footprint and operations complexity. This is done
 * transparently by this class, on object construction. Passing objects of this class
 * to other library methods, such as attribute lookup functions, will not require
 * this translation and/or string copying and thus will result in a more efficient code.
