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.
