 * @todo
 *  - decide which part of interface has to be optimized ( probably nothing until we
 *    implement reader for HDF5, XML or large Raw data files, and try to use the same input interface for input of large data)
 *  - then make inlined only neccessary functions  and carefully move as much as possible into accessors.cc including explicit instantiation of
 *    support classes. This should speedup compilation of the code that use the accessors.
 *  - implement operator -> without allocation (shared_ptr), i.e. put Accesors into Iterators
 *    Create corresponding accessor at construction of the iterator.

/**
 * @brief Accessor to input data conforming to declared Array.
 *
 * There are two possible ways how to retrieve data from Array accessor. First, you can use generic
 * @p copy_to function to copy the data into a given container. Second, you can get an Iterator<Type>
 * and iterate through the Array. Unfortunately, you have to provide Type to the begin() method so this
 * implementation is not fully compliant with standard library. The reason is that in order to speed up compilation of many
 * classes using input accessors we wouldn't have Input::Array a class template that it can be compiled only once.
 * By this reason one can not use BOOST_FOREACH to iterate over Input::Array.
 * TODO: Make Input::Array<Type> wrapper which is compliant with standard library.
 *
 * In either case correspondence between resulting type (i.e. type of elements of the container or type of the Iterator)
 * and the type of the data in the Array is checked only once.
 *
 * Example of usage:
 * @code
 * Input::Array decay_array = in_rec.val<Input::Array>("decays");       // get accessor to an array stored under key 'decays'
 * int size = decay_array.size();                                       // get size of the actual arrya in the input (possibly for allocation)
 *
 * for(Input::Iterator<Input::Record> it = decay_array.begin<Input::Record>()   // pass through the array, that is array of records
 *          ; it != dacay_array.end(); ++it) {
 *
 *     Input::Iterator<double> it_hl = it->find<double>("half_life");   // check existence of an optional key
 *     if (it_hl) {
 *          double hl = *it_hl;
 *     } else {
 *          // use some other value, or turn-off the decay
 *     }
 *     Input::Array products = it->val<Input::Array>("products");       // read an obligatory key, theat conatins an array
