//! A root object extracted from a Storage_Data object. <br>
//! A Storage_Root encapsulates a persistent <br>
//! object which is a root of a Storage_Data object. <br>
//! It contains additional information: the name and <br>
//! the data type of the persistent object. <br>
//! When retrieving a Storage_Data object from a <br>
//! container (for example, a file) you access its <br>
//! roots with the function Roots which returns a <br>
//! sequence of root objects. The provided functions <br>
//! allow you to request information about each root of the sequence. <br>
//! You do not create explicit roots: when inserting <br>
//! data in a Storage_Data object, you just provide <br>
//! the persistent object and optionally its name to the function AddRoot. <br>
