  // <etymology>
  // Class that represents partial derivatives obtained by automatic
  // differentiation.
  // </etymology>
  //
  // <synopsis>
  // Class representing
  // the data necessary for automatic differentiation. The structure contains a
  // value, and the derivatives of the value with respect to a number of 
  // dependent variables.
  //
  // The actual differentiation and access is done through the 
  // <linkto class=SparseDiff>SparseDiff</linkto> class.
  //
  // <example>
  // See the example in <linkto class=SparseDiff>SparseDiff</linkto>
  // </example>
  //
  // <motivation>
  // To separate the data container from the actual calculations.
  // To be able to create special conatiners; constructors and destructors
  // (including memory allocation) to speed up processes.
  //
  // <templating arg=T>
  //  <li> any class that has the standard mathematical and comparison
  //    operators defined
  // </templating>
