/** \file lispatom.h
 *  implementation of the standard lisp elements: atom and sublist.
 *
 * class LispAtom. This class implements one atom, which is a
 * reference to a string it represents, and a pointer to the next
 * lisp atom if it is in a list.
 * It also has a pointer to the annotation object.
 * The local class LispPtr implements automatic garbage collection
 * through reference counting.
 *
 * The class LispNumber inherits from LispAtom and holds a numeric atom
 * in the string representation and in the numeric representation (BigNumber).
 * The string representation is converted to BigNumber (using the current precision for floats) when a numeric
 * operation is first requested on the atom. The BigNumber representation is
 * converted to the string representation whenever the number needs to be printed i.e. LispAtom::String() method is requested.
 * The string is held in the number (to avoid repeated conversions) and also cached in the string cache (this caching will eventually be abandoned).
 * When LispNumber is constructed from BigNumber, no string representation is available.
 * Conversion from string to BigNumber is done only if no BigNumber object is present.
