 * @class Model
 * @sbmlbrief{core} Implementation of %SBML's %Model construct.
 *
 * In an SBML model definition, a single object of class Model serves as
 * the overall container for the lists of the various model components.
 * All of the lists are optional, but if a given list container is present
 * within the model, the list must not be empty; that is, it must have
 * length one or more.  The following are the components and lists
 * permitted in different Levels and Versions of SBML in
 * version @htmlinclude libsbml-version.html
 * of libSBML:
 * <ul>
 * <li> In SBML Level 1, the components are: UnitDefinition, Compartment,
 * Species, Parameter, Rule, and Reaction.  Instances of the classes are
 * placed inside instances of classes ListOfUnitDefinitions,
 * ListOfCompartments, ListOfSpecies, ListOfParameters, ListOfRules, and
 * ListOfReactions.
 *
 * <li> In SBML Level 2 Version 1, the components are: FunctionDefinition,
 * UnitDefinition, Compartment, Species, Parameter, Rule, Reaction and
 * Event.  Instances of the classes are placed inside instances of classes
 * ListOfFunctionDefinitions, ListOfUnitDefinitions, ListOfCompartments,
 * ListOfSpecies, ListOfParameters, ListOfRules, ListOfReactions, and
 * ListOfEvents.
 *
 * <li> In SBML Level 2 Versions 2, 3 and 4, the components are:
 * FunctionDefinition, UnitDefinition, CompartmentType, SpeciesType,
 * Compartment, Species, Parameter, InitialAssignment, Rule, Constraint,
 * Reaction and Event.  Instances of the classes are placed inside
 * instances of classes ListOfFunctionDefinitions, ListOfUnitDefinitions,
 * ListOfCompartmentTypes, ListOfSpeciesTypes, ListOfCompartments,
 * ListOfSpecies, ListOfParameters, ListOfInitialAssignments, ListOfRules,
 * ListOfConstraints, ListOfReactions, and ListOfEvents.
 *
 * <li> In SBML Level 3 Version 1, the components are: FunctionDefinition,
 * UnitDefinition, Compartment, Species, Parameter, InitialAssignment,
 * Rule, Constraint, Reaction and Event.  Instances of the classes are
 * placed inside instances of classes ListOfFunctionDefinitions,
 * ListOfUnitDefinitions, ListOfCompartments, ListOfSpecies,
 * ListOfParameters, ListOfInitialAssignments, ListOfRules,
 * ListOfConstraints, ListOfReactions, and ListOfEvents.  
 * </ul>
 *
 * Although all the lists are optional, there are dependencies between SBML
 * components such that defining some components requires defining others.
 * An example is that defining a species requires defining a compartment,
 * and defining a reaction requires defining a species.  The dependencies
 * are explained in more detail in the SBML specifications.
 *
 * In addition to the above lists and attributes, the Model class in both
 * SBML Level&nbsp;2 and Level&nbsp;3 has the usual two attributes of "id"
 * and "name", and both are optional.  As is the case for other SBML
 * components with "id" and "name" attributes, they must be used according
 * to the guidelines described in the SBML specifications.  (Within the
 * frameworks of SBML Level&nbsp;2 and Level&nbsp;3 Version&nbsp;1 Core, a
 * Model object identifier has no assigned meaning, but extension packages
 * planned for SBML Level&nbsp;3 are likely to make use of this
 * identifier.)
 *
 * Finally, SBML Level&nbsp;3 has introduced a number of additional Model
 * attributes.  They are discussed in a separate section below.
 *
 *
 * @section approaches Approaches to creating objects using the libSBML API
 *
 * LibSBML provides two main mechanisms for creating objects: class
 * constructors
 * (e.g., @if java <a href="org/sbml/libsbml/Species.html">Species()</a> @else Species::Species() @endif), 
 * and <code>create<span class="placeholder"><em>Object</em></span>()</code>
 * methods (such as Model::createSpecies()) provided by certain <span
 * class="placeholder"><em>Object</em></span> classes such as Model.  These
 * multiple mechanisms are provided by libSBML for flexibility and to
 * support different use-cases, but they also have different implications
 * for the overall model structure.
 * 
 * In general, the recommended approach is to use the <code>create<span
 * class="placeholder"><em>Object</em></span>()</code> methods.  These
 * methods both create an object @em and link it to the parent in one step.
 * Here is an example:@if clike
 * @verbatim
// Create an SBMLDocument object in Level 3 Version 1 format:

SBMLDocument* sbmlDoc = new SBMLDocument(3, 1);

// Create a Model object inside the SBMLDocument object and set
// its identifier.  The call returns a pointer to the Model object
// created, and methods called on that object affect the attributes
// of the object attached to the model (as expected).

Model* model = sbmlDoc->createModel();
model->setId("BestModelEver");

// Create a Species object inside the Model and set its identifier.
// Similar to the lines above, this call returns a pointer to the Species
// object created, and methods called on that object affect the attributes
// of the object attached to the model (as expected).

Species *sp = model->createSpecies();
sp->setId("MySpecies");
@endverbatim
 * @endif@if java
@verbatim
// Create an SBMLDocument object in Level 3 Version 1 format:

SBMLDocument sbmlDoc = new SBMLDocument(3, 1);

// Create a Model object inside the SBMLDocument object and set
// its identifier.  The call returns a pointer to the Model object
// created, and methods called on that object affect the attributes
// of the object attached to the model (as expected).  Note that
// the call to setId() returns a status code, and a real program
// should check this status code to make sure everything went okay.

Model model = sbmlDoc.createModel();
model.setId(&#34;BestModelEver&#34;);

// Create a Species object inside the Model and set its identifier.
// Similar to the lines above, this call returns a pointer to the Species
// object created, and methods called on that object affect the attributes
// of the object attached to the model (as expected).  Note that, like
// with Model, the call to setId() returns a status code, and a real program
// should check this status code to make sure everything went okay.

Species sp = model.createSpecies();
sp.setId(&#34;BestSpeciesEver&#34;);
@endverbatim
 * @endif@if python
@verbatim
# Create an SBMLDocument object in Level 3 Version 1 format:

sbmlDoc = SBMLDocument(3, 1)

# Create a Model object inside the SBMLDocument object and set
# its identifier.  The call to setId() returns a status code
# to indicate whether the assignment was successful.  Code 0
# means success; see the documentation for Model's setId() for 
# more information.

model = sbmlDoc.createModel()
model.setId(&#34;BestModelEver&#34;)

# Create a Species object inside the Model and set its identifier.
# Again, the setId() returns a status code to indicate whether the
# assignment was successful.  Code 0 means success; see the
# documentation for Specie's setId() for more information.

sp = model.createSpecies()
sp.setId(&#34;BestSpeciesEver&#34;)
@endverbatim
 * @endif@if csharp
@verbatim
// Create an SBMLDocument object in Level 3 Version 1 format:

SBMLDocument sbmlDoc = new SBMLDocument(3, 1);

// Create a Model object inside the SBMLDocument object and set
// its identifier.  The call returns a pointer to the Model object
// created, and methods called on that object affect the attributes
// of the object attached to the model (as expected).

Model model = sbmlDoc.createModel();
model.setId("BestModelEver");

// Create a Species object inside the Model and set its identifier.
// Similar to the lines above, this call returns a pointer to the Species
// object created, and methods called on that object affect the attributes
// of the object attached to the model (as expected).

Species sp = model.createSpecies();
sp.setId("MySpecies");
@endverbatim
 * @endif@~
 * 
 * The <code>create<span
 * class="placeholder"><em>Object</em></span>()</code> methods return a
 * pointer to the object created, but they also add the object to the
 * relevant list of object instances contained in the parent.  (These lists
 * become the <code>&lt;listOf<span
 * class="placeholder"><em>Object</em></span>s&gt;</code> elements in the
 * finished XML rendition of SBML.)  In the example above,
 * Model::createSpecies() adds the created species directly to the
 * <code>&lt;listOfSpecies&gt;</code> list in the model.  Subsequently,
 * methods called on the species change the species in the model (which is
 * what is expected in most situations).
 *
 * @section checking Consistency and adherence to SBML specifications
 *
 * To make it easier for applications to do whatever they need,
 * libSBML version @htmlinclude libsbml-version.html
 * is relatively lax when it comes to enforcing correctness and
 * completeness of models @em during model construction and editing.
 * Essentially, libSBML @em will @em not in most cases check automatically
 * that a model's components have valid attribute values, or that the
 * overall model is consistent and free of errors&mdash;even obvious errors
 * such as duplication of identifiers.  This allows applications great
 * leeway in how they build their models, but it means that software
 * authors must take deliberate steps to ensure that the model will be, in
 * the end, valid SBML.  These steps include such things as keeping track
 * of the identifiers used in a model, manually performing updates in
 * certain situations where an entity is referenced in more than one place
 * (e.g., a species that is referenced by multiple SpeciesReference
 * objects), and so on.
 *
 * That said, libSBML does provide powerful features for deliberately
 * performing validation of SBML when an application decides it is time to
 * do so.  The interfaces to these facilities are on the SBMLDocument
 * class, in the form of SBMLDocument::checkInternalConsistency() and
 * SBMLDocument::checkConsistency().  Please refer to the documentation for
 * SBMLDocument for more information about this.
 *
 * While applications may play fast and loose and live like free spirits
 * during the construction and editing of SBML models, they should always
 * make sure to call SBMLDocument::checkInternalConsistency() and/or
 * SBMLDocument::checkConsistency() before writing out the final version of
 * an SBML model.
 *
 * 
 * @section model-l3-attrib Model attributes introduced in SBML Level&nbsp;3
 *
 * As mentioned above, the Model class has a number of optional attributes
 * in SBML Level&nbsp;3 Version&nbsp;1 Core.  These are "substanceUnits",
 * "timeUnits", "volumeUnits", "areaUnits", "lengthUnits", "extentUnits",
 * and "conversionFactor.  The following provide more information about
 * them.
 *
 * @subsection model-l3-substanceunits The "substanceUnits" attribute
 *
 * The "substanceUnits" attribute is used to specify the unit of
 * measurement associated with substance quantities of Species objects that
 * do not specify units explicitly.  If a given Species object definition
 * does not specify its unit of substance quantity via the "substanceUnits"
 * attribute on the Species object instance, then that species inherits the
 * value of the Model "substanceUnits" attribute.  If the Model does not
 * define a value for this attribute, then there is no unit to inherit, and
 * all species that do not specify individual "substanceUnits" attribute
 * values then have <em>no</em> declared units for their quantities.  The
 * SBML Level&nbsp;3 Version&nbsp;1 Core specification provides more
 * details.
 * 
 * Note that when the identifier of a species appears in a model's
 * mathematical expressions, the unit of measurement associated with that
 * identifier is <em>not solely determined</em> by setting "substanceUnits"
 * on Model or Species.  Please see the discussion about units given in
 * the documentation for the Species class.
 * 
 * 
 * @subsection model-l3-timeunits The "timeUnits" attribute
 *
 * The "timeUnits" attribute on SBML Level&nbsp;3's Model object is used to
 * specify the unit in which time is measured in the model.  This attribute
 * on Model is the <em>only</em> way to specify a unit for time in a model.
 * It is a global attribute; time is measured in the model everywhere in
 * the same way.  This is particularly relevant to Reaction and RateRule
 * objects in a model: all Reaction and RateRule objects in SBML define
 * per-time values, and the unit of time is given by the "timeUnits"
 * attribute on the Model object instance.  If the Model "timeUnits"
 * attribute has no value, it means that the unit of time is not defined
 * for the model's reactions and rate rules.  Leaving it unspecified in an
 * SBML model does not result in an invalid model in SBML Level&nbsp;3;
 * however, as a matter of best practice, we strongly recommend that all
 * models specify units of measurement for time.
 *
 * 
 * @subsection model-l3-voletc The "volumeUnits", "areaUnits", and "lengthUnits" attributes
 *
 * The attributes "volumeUnits", "areaUnits" and "lengthUnits" together are
 * used to set the units of measurements for the sizes of Compartment
 * objects in an SBML Level&nbsp;3 model when those objects do not
 * otherwise specify units.  The three attributes correspond to the most
 * common cases of compartment dimensions: "volumeUnits" for compartments
 * having a "spatialDimensions" attribute value of @c "3", "areaUnits" for
 * compartments having a "spatialDimensions" attribute value of @c "2", and
 * "lengthUnits" for compartments having a "spatialDimensions" attribute
 * value of @c "1".  The attributes are not applicable to compartments
 * whose "spatialDimensions" attribute values are @em not one of @c "1", @c
 * "2" or @c "3".
 * 
 * If a given Compartment object instance does not provide a value for its
 * "units" attribute, then the unit of measurement of that compartment's
 * size is inherited from the value specified by the Model "volumeUnits",
 * "areaUnits" or "lengthUnits" attribute, as appropriate based on the
 * Compartment object's "spatialDimensions" attribute value.  If the Model
 * object does not define the relevant attribute, then there are no units
 * to inherit, and all Compartment objects that do not set a value for
 * their "units" attribute then have <em>no</em> units associated with
 * their compartment sizes.
 * 
 * The use of three separate attributes is a carry-over from SBML
 * Level&nbsp;2.  Note that it is entirely possible for a model to define a
 * value for two or more of the attributes "volumeUnits", "areaUnits" and
 * "lengthUnits" simultaneously, because SBML models may contain
 * compartments with different numbers of dimensions.
 *
 * 
 * @subsection model-l3-extentunits The "extentUnits" attribute
 *
 * Reactions are processes that occur over time.  These processes involve
 * events of some sort, where a single ``reaction event'' is one in which
 * some set of entities (known as reactants, products and modifiers in
 * SBML) interact, once.  The <em>extent</em> of a reaction is a measure of
 * how many times the reaction has occurred, while the time derivative of
 * the extent gives the instantaneous rate at which the reaction is
 * occurring.  Thus, what is colloquially referred to as the "rate of the
 * reaction" is in fact equal to the rate of change of reaction extent.
 * 
 * In SBML Level&nbsp;3, the combination of "extentUnits" and "timeUnits"
 * defines the units of kinetic laws in SBML and establishes how the
 * numerical value of each KineticLaw object's mathematical formula is
 * meant to be interpreted in a model.  The units of the kinetic laws are
 * taken to be "extentUnits" divided by "timeUnits".
 * 
 * Note that this embodies an important principle in SBML Level&nbsp;3
 * models: <em>all reactions in an SBML model must have the same units</em>
 * for the rate of change of extent.  In other words, the units of all
 * reaction rates in the model <em>must be the same</em>.  There is only
 * one global value for "extentUnits" and one global value for "timeUnits".
 *
 * 
 * @subsection model-l3-convfactor The "conversionFactor" attribute
 *
 * The attribute "conversionFactor" in SBML Level&nbsp;3's Model object
 * defines a global value inherited by all Species object instances that do
 * not define separate values for their "conversionFactor" attributes.  The
 * value of this attribute must refer to a Parameter object instance
 * defined in the model.  The Parameter object in question must be a
 * constant; ie it must have its "constant" attribute value set to @c
 * "true".
 * 
 * If a given Species object definition does not specify a conversion
 * factor via the "conversionFactor" attribute on Species, then the species
 * inherits the conversion factor specified by the Model "conversionFactor"
 * attribute.  If the Model does not define a value for this attribute,
 * then there is no conversion factor to inherit.  More information about
 * conversion factors is provided in the SBML Level&nbsp;3 Version&nbsp;1
 * specification.
