// VirtualScalarColumn handles a virtual column containing a scalar.
// </etymology>
 
// <synopsis> 
// VirtualScalarColumn is the abstract base class to handle a scalar column
// for a virtual column engine.
// It is derived from DataManagerColumn and reimplements some
// virtual functions to make life easier for the derived classes.
// It does the following:
// <ul>
//  <li>
//   It implements the dataType function, so it is not needed to implement
//   that in derived classes.
//  <li>
//   It has a default implementation of False for function isWritable.
//   Thus by default virtual scalar columns are not writable, which will
//   often be the case. Only if a virtual scalar column can be writable,
//   it has to be implemented in the derived class.
//  <li>
//   Declare a get/put function with the template parameter as its argument.
//   The virtual functions get/putBoolV, etc. (defined in DataManagerColumn)
//   are by default implemented using this (templated) get/put function.
//   This allows for the default implementation of get/putBlock and
//   makes life easier for the implementor of a derived class.
//   However, the disadvantage of this is an extra virtual function call.
//   (E.g. for a Bool value the first one is getBoolV and the second
//    one get(T&), where T is Bool). If efficiency is really necessary,
//    getBoolV, etc. should also be implemented in the derived class.
//  <li>
//   In DataManagerColumn the functions get/putBlockV and get/putColumnV
//   are defined, which have a void* data argument. This is necessary
//   to handle arbitrary data types in the non-templated base class
//   DataManagerColumn.
//   In this templated VirtualScalarColumn class, virtual functions
//   get/putBlock and get/putColumn have been defined. They cast
//   the void* data argument to T&, so in a derived class no care has
//   to be taken for that cast.
//   Furthermore a default implementation of them has been made.
//   <ul>
//    <li> getBlock gets one value using function get.
//    <li> putBlock puts one value at the time using function put.
//    <li> getColumn uses function getBlock.
//    <li> putColumn uses function putBlock.
//   </ul>
//   If efficiency is an issue, these functions should be implemented
//   in the derived class.
// </ul>
// </synopsis> 
 
// <motivation>
// This class reimplements some virtual functions implemented by
// DataManagerColumn and types the data argument. In that way they are
// easier to implement in derived classes. Furthermore they allow
// default implementations.
// </motivation>
