/**
 * The below is a trick.  ObjectType's implement the singleton
 * pattern.  There can be only one of them at each time.  This one
 * instance of them needs to be constructed at some time, within the
 * following restrictions:
 *
 * 1. They need to be constructed in the right order: if one ObjectType
 * uses another in its constructor, the other needs to be constructed
 * first.  To achieve this, we use a scheme with ::instance()
 * functions, that have a static variable in the body of the function
 * ( if we would define them static outside of the function body, C++
 * would provide no guarantee on the order they would be called in ).
 *
 * 2. They need to be constructed before Kig tries to use them.  They
 * need to be added to the ObjectTypeFactory before anyone tries to
 * use that class to fetch a type.  The below is a trick to achieve
 * that in combination with the previous.  Basically, we add a fake
 * static instance of an empty class that receives the instance of the
 * ObjectType as an argument to its constructor.  C++ then guarantees
 * that these things will be constructed before main() is entered.
 *
 * Thus, for your own ObjectType classes: use the scheme with the
 * static ::instance methods, and add
 * \code
 * KIG_INSTANTIATE_OBJECT_TYPE_INSTANCE( MyObjectType)
 * \endcode
 * to the .cpp file of your class.
