Detailed Description

Linear is a ____pointer interface for Biology.

This class is used by Line and chemical::LinearMotifs, see those classes for more info.

Lines contain logic for handling their CONTENT_TYPE by Id, Name, and other aspects innate to the Identifiable<StandardDimension>. The term "linear" comes from the idea that instead of a 0 dimensional pile of objects, as are Arrangements, *this can be ordered along at least 1 dimension (i.e. the StandardDimension).

Current features:

1. Shared: determines whether or not m_component will be deleted with *this.

Future features:

1. Const: determines whether or not *this can be changed.

NOTE: Linear is NOT VIRTUAL! This is done to save space in lists. Because we do not need a vtable, we shan't have one!

NOTE: we should support Dimensions other than the StandardDimension. However, the limitations of chemical::Atom::Bonds prevent us from indexing more than 1 template variable from ____Interfaces (e.g. Structure). StandardDimension here, mirrors what is used by chemical::Class and does not require any additional template specialization. Plus, not supporting other Dimensions makes for cleaner inheritance / downstream code. Support for other Dimensions may be added in a future release.
