//! A base class for Keys
/** This class does internal caching of the strings to accelerate the
    name lookup. It is better to create a Key and reuse it
    rather than recreate it many times from strings.

    If you use this with a new type, you must add a new definition of
    attribute_table_index. Yes, this is an evil hack, but I couldn't
    get linking to work with static members of the template class.

    The keys in \imp maintain a cached mapping between strings and indexes.
    This mapping is global--that is all \imp Models and Particles in the
    same program use the same mapping for each type of key. The type of
    the key is determined by an integer which should be unique for
    each type. If the integer is not unique, everything works, just
    more memory is wasted and types are interconvertible.

    Keys used for storing attributes in particles should never be statically
    initialized. While this is annoying, statically initializing them is bad,
    as unused attribute keys can result in wasted memory in each particle.

    If LazyAdd is true, keys created with a new string will be added,
    otherwise this is an error.
