/** \class TDictionary
 
This class defines an abstract interface that must be implemented
by all classes that contain dictionary information.
 
The dictionary is defined by the following classes:
~~~ {.cpp}
TDataType                              (typedef definitions)
TGlobal                                (global variables)
TGlobalFunc                            (global functions)
TClass                                 (classes)
   TBaseClass                          (base classes)
   TDataMember                         (class datamembers)
   TMethod                             (class methods)
      TMethodArg                       (method arguments)
~~~
All the above classes implement the TDictionary abstract interface.
Note: the indentation shows aggregation not inheritance.
~~~ {.cpp}
TMethodCall                            (method call environment)
~~~
