Remarks

• Creates objects of registered concrete products in a common hierarchy
• Product base class must typedef some types (see Types section)
• Use Key pointers when keys are globals that may not be constructed yet
• Use Key functions when keys are globals that may not be constructed yet or for generic registrants
• Supports creation functions with 0 and 1 argument(s)
• Place static Registrant members in concrete product classes to register with Factory
