Detailed Description

This class encapsulates the concept of `printability', it automatically associates the output operator to a derived class via a virtual method to get around the problem of polymorphic operator being illegal in C++.

Typical usage: (1) inherit from Printable Class A : Class Printable (2) define the method print() in A (3) use '<<' operator for objects of class A

Variants of print can be added for different flavors.
