    These traits classes contain information that is used by generic
    algorithms and data structures to determine intermediate and result
    types of numerical calculations, to convert between different 
    representations of arithmetic types, and to create certain important
    constants of each type. Thus, algorithms and data structures
    operating that need arithmetic operations can be made more
    independent from the actual data representation.
    
    NumericTraits are implemented as template specializations of one
    arithmetic type, while PromoteTraits are specialized for a pair of
    arithmetic types that shall be combined in one operation.

/** \page NumericTraits template<> struct NumericTraits<ArithmeticType>

    Unary traits for promotion, conversion, creation of arithmetic objects.

    <b>\#include</b> 
    \<<a href="numerictraits_8hxx-source.html">vigra/numerictraits.hxx</a>\>

    This traits class is used derive important properties of
    an arithmetic type. Consider the following algorithm:
    
    \code
    // calculate the sum of a sequence of bytes
    int sumBytes(unsigned char * begin, unsigned char * end)
    {
        int result = 0;
        for(; begin != end; ++begin)  result += *begin;
        return result;
    }
    \endcode 
    
    The return type of this function can not be 'unsigned char' because
    the summation would very likely overflow. Since we know the source
    type, we can easily choose 'int' as an appropriate return type.
    Likewise, we would have choosen 'float' if we had to sum a 
    sequence of floats. If we want to make this 
    algorithm generic, we would like to derive the appropriate return 
    type automatically. This can be done with NumericTraits. 
    The code would look like this (we use \ref DataAccessors to 
    read the data from the sequence):
    
    \code
    // calculate the sum of any sequence
    template <class Iterator, class Accessor>
    typename vigra::NumericTraits<typename Accessor::value_type>::Promote
    sumSequence(Iterator begin, Iterator end, Accessor a)
    {
        // an abbreviation
        typedef vigra::NumericTraits<typename Accessor::value_type>  SrcTraits;
        
        // find out result type
        typedef typename SrcTraits::Promote ResultType;
      
        // init result to zero
        ResultType result = vigra::NumericTraits<ResultType>::zero();
    
        for(; begin != end; ++begin)
        {  
            // cast current item to ResultType and add
            result += SrcTraits::toPromote(a(begin));
        }
        
        return result;
    }
    \endcode
    
    In this example NumericTraits is not only used to deduce the 
    ReturnType of the operation, but also to initialize it with the
    constant 'zero'. This is necessary since we do not know in general,
    which expression must be used to obtain a zero of some arbitrary
    type - '<TT>ResultType result = 0;</TT>' would only work if the 
    ResultType had an constructor taking an '<TT>int</TT>' argument, and we 
    would not even have any guarantee as to what the semantics of this
    constructor are. In addition, the traits are used to cast the 
    source type into the promote type.
    
    Similarly, an algorithm that needs multiplication would use the 
    return type <TT>RealPromote</TT> and the functions <TT>one()</TT> and
    <TT>toRealPromote()</TT>. The following members are defined in

/** \page PromoteTraits template<> struct PromoteTraits<ArithmeticType1, ArithmeticType2>

    Binary traits for promotion of arithmetic objects.
    
    <b>\#include</b> 
    \<<a href="numerictraits_8hxx-source.html">vigra/numerictraits.hxx</a>\>

    This traits class is used to determine the appropriate result type
    of arithmetic expressions which depend of two arguments. Consider
    the following function:
    
    \code
    template <class T>
    T min(T t1, T t2)
    {
        return (t1 < t2) ? t1 : t2;
    }
    \endcode
    
    This template is only applicable if both arguments have the same
    type. However, sometimes we may want to use the function in cases
    where the argument types differ. The we can deduce the approrpiate
    return type by using <TT>PromoteTraits</TT>:
    
    \code
    template <class T1, class T2>
    typename vigra::PromoteTraits<T1, T2>::Promote
    min(T1 t1, T2 t2)
    {
        return (t1 < t2) ? vigra::PromoteTraits<T1, T2>::toPromote(t1) : 
                           vigra::PromoteTraits<T1, T2>::toPromote(t2);
    }    
    \endcode
    
    In addition, the traits class provide static functions to cast the
    arguments to the promote type. For example, if <TT>T1</TT> were <TT>int</TT> and 
    <TT>T2</TT> were <TT>float</TT>, the <TT>Promote</TT> type would be <TT>float</TT>. 
    The following members are defined in 
    <b> <TT>PromoteTraits<ArithmeticType1, ArithmeticType2></TT></b>:
    
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>
    <b> <TT>typedef ... Promote;</TT></b>
    </td><td>
            promote type 
    </td></tr>
    <tr><td>
    <b> <TT>static Promote toPromote(ArithmeticType1 v);</TT></b> 
    
    <b> <TT>static Promote toPromote(ArithmeticType2 v);</TT></b>

        convert to <TT>Promote</TT> type

/** \page SquareRootTraits template<> struct SquareRootTraits<ArithmeticType>

    Unary traits for the calculation of the square root of arithmetic objects.
    
    <b>\#include</b> 
    \<<a href="numerictraits_8hxx-source.html">vigra/numerictraits.hxx</a>\>

    This traits class is used to determine appropriate argument and result types
    for the function sqrt(). These traits are typically used like this:
    
    \code
    ArithmeticType t = ...;
    SquareRootTraits<ArithmeticType>::SquareRootResult r = 
          sqrt((SquareRootTraits<ArithmeticType>::SquareRootArgument)t);
    \endcode
    
    This approach avoids 'ambigouos overload errors' when taking the square root of 
    an integer type. It also takes care of determining the proper result of the
    sqrt() function of \ref vigra::FixedPoint and of the norm() function, when
    it is implemented via sqrt(squaredNorm(x)).
    The following members are defined in <b> <TT>SquareRootTraits<ArithmeticType></TT></b>:
    
    <table>
    <tr><td>
    <b> <TT>typedef ArithmeticType Type;</TT></b>
