// 	 Class : ParameterRemapToString
// Description : A base class for several different remapping types
//               that convert to an atomic string class.
//
//               The atomic string class is represented in the C
//               interface as a (const char *).  Other interfaces may
//               be able to represent it differently, subverting the
//               code defined here.
