//       Class : ParameterRemap
// Description : An abstract base class for a number of different
//               kinds of ways to remap parameters for passing to
//               wrapper functions.
//
//               Certain kinds of function parameters that are legal
//               in C++ (for instance, passing by reference, or
//               passing structures as concrete values) are not legal
//               for a typical scripting language.  We map these types
//               of parameters to something equivalent (for instance,
//               a reference becomes a pointer).
//
//               For each kind of possible remapping, we define a
//               class derived from ParameterRemap that defines the
//               exact nature of the remap.
