// <synopsis>
// This class takes an arbitrary number of Function objects, and generates
// a new, single function object. The parameters of the compound object
// are the union of all the parameters in the input objects.
//
// When CompoundFunction is evaluated, the result is the sum of 
// all the individual function values.
//
// Note that any Function object (including another Compound object) can be
// part of a compound object. 
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// Suppose for some reason we wanted the sum of <src>x^2</src> plus a gaussian.
// We could form it as follows:
// <srcblock>
//    Polynomial<Float> x2(2);
//    x[2] = 1.0;                    // x^2
//    Gaussian1D<Float> gauss(1.0, 0.0, 1.0);          // e^{-x^2}
//    CompoundParam<Float> sum;                        // sum == 0.0
//    sum.addFunction(x2);                               // sum == x^2
//    sum.addFunction(gauss);                            // sum == x^2+e^{-x^2}
//    sum(2.0);                                          // == 4 + e^-4
//    CompoundParam[0] = 2.0;                          // sum ==2x^2+e^{-x^2}
//    sum(2.0);                                          // == 8 + e^-4
//    // Set the height of the gaussian
//    sum[parameterOffset[1] + Gaussian1D<Float>::HEIGHT] = 2.5;
// </srcblock>
// </example>
 
// <templating arg=T>
//  <li> T should have standard numerical operators and exp() function. Current
//  implementation only tested for real types.
//  <li> To obtain derivatives, the derivatives should be defined.
// </templating>
 
// <thrown>
// <li> AipsError if dimensions of functions added different
// </thrown>
 
// <motivation>
// This class was created to allow a non-linear least squares fitter to fit a 
// (potentially) arbitrary number of functions (typically gaussians).
// </motivation>
