-/**
- * This file contains the general structure of all accepted AronTypes.
- *
- * In general we distinguish we distinguish between container(complex) and primitive types.
- * Complex types include Objects, Lists, Dicts, Pairs and Blobs.
- * Pimitive types on the other hand include int, long, float, double, string and bools.
- *
- * A primitive always has only one member containing the value of the aron. A container type can have multiple members.
- *
- * Note that every AronData must have a corresponding AronAbstractType (both declared in aron.ice).
- * The AronData is a copy of cpp values while the AronAbstractType describes the type structure.
- *
- * In the following we descripe the types in more detail:
- * AronData:
- * |
- * |->Container:
- * |  |
- * |  |->AronObject:
- * |  |    This container represents cpp classes. It contains a std::map mapping from a membername (std::string) to AronData.
- * |  |    It is a recursive structure that again can contain other complex or primitive types.
- * |  |
- * |  |->AronList:
- * This container represents a std::vector<T> where T can be any datatype convertable to Aron.
