/**@brief   Entry identifier class for items of a DataSet.
   @ingroup Elementary

   Every item in a DataSet is assigned a DataKey by which it can be
   accessed (using DataSet::operator[]()). A DataKey consists of an integer
   member #idx, which is a positive number for any valid DataKey. No
   #idx of an element in a DataSet may exceed the sets max().
   This property may be used to build arrays with additional information to
   the elements of a DataSet.

   In addition, #DataKey%s provide a member #info which can be used to store 
   further information.
   
   Each DataKey is unique for one DataSet but different DataSets may (and
   generally will) manage the same #DataKey%s. When an element is removed from
   a DataSet its DataKey may (and generally will) be reused for other
   elements added to the DataSet later on.

   @todo data members should be private.
