+        /*!
+            Collection traits provide uniform access to different types of 
+            collections. This functionality allows to write generic algorithms
+            which work with several different kinds of collections.
+
+            Currently following collection types are supported:
+                - containers with STL compatible container interface ( see ContainerConcept )
+                    ( i.e. \c std::vector<>, \c std::list<>, \c std::string<> ... )
+                - c-style array 
+                   ( \c char[10], \c int[15] ... )
+                - null-terminated c-strings
+                    ( \c char*, \c wchar_T* )
+                - std::pair of iterators 
+                    ( i.e \c std::pair<vector<int>::iterator,vector<int>::iterator> )
+
+            Collection traits provide an external collection interface operations.
+            All are accessible using free-standing functions.
+
+            The following operations are supported:
+                - \c size()
+                - \c empty()
+                - \c begin()
+                - \c end()
+
+            Container traits have somewhat limited functionality on compilers not
+            supporting partial template specialization and partial template ordering.
