// Generic feature extractor for extracting features from objects. The feature
// extractor can be used for extracting features from any object. The feature
// extractor and feature function classes are template classes that have to
// be instantiated for extracting feature from a specific object type.
//
// A feature extractor consists of a hierarchy of feature functions. Each
// feature function extracts one or more feature type and value pairs from the
// object.
//
// The feature extractor has a modular design where new feature functions can be
// registered as components. The feature extractor is initialized from a
// descriptor represented by a protocol buffer. The feature extractor can also
// be initialized from a text-based source specification of the feature
// extractor. Feature specification parsers can be added as components. By
// default the feature extractor can be read from an ASCII protocol buffer or in
// a simple feature modeling language (fml).

// A feature function is invoked with a focus. Nested feature function can be
// invoked with another focus determined by the parent feature function.
