/** @mainpage The COLLECTION interface
 * The collection is a set of items of different types.
 *
 * To better understand how collections work imagine travel bags.
 * They usually come in different sizes and one can put a bag in a bag when
 * they put away to the shelf in a garage or closet. Collection is such bag
 * except that you can put other bags into each other even if they are not
 * empty.<br>
 * When you put items into a bag you do not see the contents of the bag.
 * You just hold the bag. How many other bags inside this bag you do not know.
 * But you might know that you put a "wallet" somewhere there.
 * You ask the bag you hold: "find my wallet and give it to me".
 * get_item function will return you the item that is your "wallet".
 * You can then change something or just get information about the item you
 * retrieved. But in most cases you do not need the wallet itself. You want to
 * get something from the wallet or put something into it. IMO money would
 * be an obvious choice. To do this you use update_xxx_property functions.<br>
 * There might be a bag somewhere deep and you might want to add something to
 * it. add_xxx_property_xxx functions allow you to specify sub collection you
 * want the item to be added to. If this sub collection argument is NULL top
 * level collection is assumed.<br>
 * The search in the collections uses a "x!y!z" notation to refer to an item (or
 * property). You can search for "wallet" and it will find any first instance of
 * the "wallet" in your luggage. But you might have two wallets. One is yours and
 * another is your significant other's. So you might say find "my!wallet".
 * It will find wallet in your bag (collection) named "my". This collection can
 * be many levels deep inside other collections. You do not need to know the
 * full path to get to it. But if you have the full path you can use the fill
 * path like this "luggage!newbags!my!wallet".<br>
 * It is useful to be able to put bags into bags as well as get them out of each
 * other. When the collection is created the header keeps a reference count on
 * how many copies of the collection are known to the world. So one can put a
 * collection into collection and give up its access to it (embed) or still hold
 * to the reference. By embedding the collection the caller effectively gives
 * up its responsibility to destroy the collection after it is used.<br>
 * By extracting reference from an internal collection the caller gains access
 * to the collection directly and thus has responsibility to destroy it after
 * use.
 *
 * Internally collection is implemented as a link list rather than a hash
 * table.
 * This makes it suitable for small (dozens of items) sets of data for which
 * the order is important. Thus the collection properties and sub collections
 * can be used to model objects like a book case. Imagine a book case that
 * consists of multiple shelves. You can perform operations like "add a new
 * shelf after second shelf" or "put a book on the 4th shelf right before
 * the book with the red cover."
 *
 * A bit of terminology:
 * - <b>collection</b> - an object implemented as a link list that holds
 *                       properties (attributes).
 * - <b>property</b>  - a named logical element of the collection.
 * - <b>item</b>    - physical element of the collection, think about it
 *                    as a node in the link list.
 * - <b>value</b> - data associated with the property.
 * - <b>type</b> - type of the data associated with a property.
 * - <b>length</b> - length of the data associated with the property.
 * - <b>sub collection</b> - collection embedded into another collection.
 *                         It is a property with the value of a special
 *                         type. The name of the property that denotes
 *                         a sub collection can be different from the name
 *                         of the collection it refers to.
 * - <b>traverse</b> - call a function that will internally iterate
 *                     through a collection and do something with its
 *                     elements.
 * - <b>iterate</b> - step through a collection yourselves.
 *
 * Characters with codes less than space in ASCII table are illegal for
 * property names.
 * Character '!' also illegal in a property or collection name and
 * reserved for "x!y!z" notation.
 *
 * There is always a header item in any collection that starts the collection.
 * Most of the functions in the interface (unless explicitly stated otherwise)
 * assume that the collection_item * argument points to the header element.
 * Passing in elements extracted from the middle of a collection to functions
 * that expect header elements is illegal. There might be not enough checking
 * at the moment but this will be enforced in future versions of the library.

 * in the collection. For more details see parameter definitions.

/**
 * @brief Pin iterator
 *
 * Pins down the iterator to loop around current point.
 *
 * This feature allows some search optimization.
 * The idea is to be able to put a 'pin'
 * into a specific place while iterating
 * the collection and make this place a new
 * "wrap around" place for the collection.
 * This means that next time you
 * iterate this collection you will start
 * iterating from the next item and
 * the item you got before setting pin will be
 * the last in your iteration cycle.
 *
 * Here is the example:
 *
 * Assume you have two collections that you need
 * to compare and perform some action on collection
 * 1 based on the presence of the item in collection 2.
 *  - Collection1 = A, B, C, D, E, F
 *  - Collection2 = A, C, F
 *
 * The usual approach is to try A from collection 1
 * against A, B, C from collection 2. "A" will be found
 *  right away. But to find "F" it has to be compared
 * to "A" and "C" first. The fact that the collections
 * are to some extent ordered can in some cases
 * help to reduce the number of comparisons.
 * If we found "C" in the list we can put a "pin"
 * into the collection there causing the iterator
 * to warp at this "pin" point. Since "D" and "E"
 * are not in the second collection we will have
 * to make same amount of comparisons in traditional
 * or "pinned" case to not find them.
 * To find "F" in pinned case there will be just one
 * comparison.
 *  - Traditional case = 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 15
 *  - Pinned case = 1 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 1 = 12
 *
 * It is a 20% comparison reduction.
 *
