 * @class SpeciesType
 * @sbmlbrief{core} Implementation of SBML Level&nbsp;2's %SpeciesType
 * construct.
 *
 * The term @em species @em type refers to reacting entities independent of
 * location.  These include simple ions (e.g., protons, calcium), simple
 * molecules (e.g., glucose, ATP), large molecules (e.g., RNA,
 * polysaccharides, and proteins), and others.
 * 
 * SBML Level&nbsp;2 Versions&nbsp;2&ndash;4 provide an explicit
 * SpeciesType class of object to enable Species objects of the same type
 * to be related together.  SpeciesType is a conceptual construct; the
 * existence of SpeciesType objects in a model has no effect on the model's
 * numerical interpretation.  Except for the requirement for uniqueness of
 * species/species type combinations located in compartments, simulators
 * and other numerical analysis software may ignore SpeciesType definitions
 * and references to them in a model.
 * 
 * There is no mechanism in SBML Level 2 for representing hierarchies of
 * species types.  One SpeciesType object cannot be the subtype of another
 * SpeciesType object; SBML provides no means of defining such
 * relationships.
 * 
 * As with other major structures in SBML, SpeciesType has a mandatory
 * attribute, "id", used to give the species type an identifier.  The
 * identifier must be a text string conforming to the identifer syntax
 * permitted in SBML.  SpeciesType also has an optional "name" attribute,
 * of type @c string.  The "id" and "name" must be used according to the
 * guidelines described in the SBML specification (e.g., Section 3.3 in
 * the Level&nbsp;2 Version&nbsp;4 specification).
 *
 * SpeciesType was introduced in SBML Level 2 Version 2.  It is not
 * available in SBML Level&nbsp;1 nor in Level&nbsp;3.

 * consistent structure.  Nevertheless, the ability to supply the values
 * at the time of creation of a SpeciesType is an important aid to
 * producing valid SBML.  Knowledge of the intented SBML Level and

 * an attribute, or whether it is valid to add an object to an existing
