Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class dal::AttributeValue< T >

Interface class for Attribute<T>::value, providing Python-property-like functionality:

Attribute<int> attr(...);

attr.value = 42; // set the value int i = attr.value; // get the value attr.del(); // remove the attribute

where attr.value is of type AttributeValue<int>.

The setter will create the attribute if it does not exist. The getter will throw an exception if the attribute does not exist. The deleter will not throw an exception if the attribute dos not exist.
