The Spider Container and Persistent classes is a set of
generic type-safe container classes with persistent object
support. The containers may hold any type of object, and
furthurmore, run-time type information is used enforce
type safety. These classes also provide a framework to
create persistent objects. Objects, or even entire
containers may be read from, and written to streams.

Container classes includes lists, arrays (with built-in
sorting and searching), hash tables, binary trees,
stacks, queues, and priority queues.

The persistent object model is non-intrusive; it allows
making an existing object persistent, without changing
the hierarchy. Objects derived directly from TObject can
be made persistent.
