 * \class MetaObject
 * \brief Root base class for all PixInsight module components.
 *
 * In PCL, a \e metaobject is a special class describing in formal terms the
 * functionality and properties of a \e component in a PixInsight module.
 *
 * The %MetaObject class provides basic functionality to implement the existing
 * hierarchical relationships between a module and all of its components. A
 * %MetaObject contains a list of %MetaObject instances, which generates a tree
 * structure based on parent-children container relations. This structural
 * layout has been used in PCL to automatize communication between the core
 * PixInsight application, modules, and all module components.
 *
 * \sa MetaModule, MetaProcess, MetaParameter, MetaFileFormat
