class IParameters:

+ Interface IParameters was designed to provide a common way to set up
+ named parameters. The interface is initialized by AttributeParameter that
+ is used as a container of stored data.
+ The interface supports 3 types of named parameters:
+ 1. Named list - a named list consists of string values.
+ One can append value to list (method 'append'), get a number of values
+ in the list (method 'nbValues'), get all values of the given list
+ (method 'getValues') and get names of all created named lists.
+ 2. Parameters - that is a set of named string values associated with some named
+ entity. Parameter consists of tree elements: entity name, a parameter name
+ and a parameter value. Thus for one named entity there are an arbitrary number
+ of pair 'name parameter : value'.
+ One can add a new parameter to entry (method 'setParameter'), get a value of
+ a given named parameter of the given entry (method 'getParameter'), get a number
+ of parameters of the given entry (method 'getNbParameters'), get all names of
+ parameters for the given entry (method 'getAllParameterNames'), get all
+ values of parameters for the entry (method 'getAllParameterValues') and get all
+ stored entries (method 'getEntries')
+ 3. Property - a property has a name and a string value.
+ One can set property (method 'setProperty'), getProperty (method 'getProperty') and
+ get a list of all stored properties (method 'getProperties').
+
+ Note:
+ Methods not mentioned above are private and is not supposed to be used
+ by module's developers.
