 /*
 Template for creating a new representation in EO
 ================================================
+
+Mandatory:
+- a default constructor (constructor without any argument)
+- the I/O functions (readFrom and printOn)
+
+However, if you are using dynamic memory, there are 2 places
+to allocate it: the default constructor (if possible?), or, more in
+the EO spirit, the eoInit object, that you will need to write anyway
+(template file init.tmpl). 
+
+But remember that a COPY CONSTRUCTOR will be used in many places in EO,
+so make sure that the default copy constructor works, or, even better,
+do write your own if in doubt. 
+And of course write the corresponding destructor!
