//! an ArchiveReaderPtr. This typedef provides a signature that such a function
//! should adhere to. This idiom is a workaround for the lack of virtual
//! constructors in C++, and to avoid creating another class (such as
//! "Implementation" or something similar)
//! This is provided here as an illustration. It does not need to be
