/** @mainpage OSCPKT : a minimalistic OSC ( http://opensoundcontrol.org ) c++ library 

  Before using this file please take the time to read the OSC spec, it
  is short and not complicated: http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0

  Features: 
    - handles basic OSC types: TFihfdsb
    - handles bundles
    - handles OSC pattern-matching rules (wildcards etc in message paths)
    - portable on win / macos / linux
    - robust wrt malformed packets
    - optional udp transport for packets
    - concise, all in a single .h file
    - does not throw exceptions

  does not:
    - take into account timestamp values.
    - provide a cpu-scalable message dispatching.
    - not suitable for use inside a realtime thread as it allocates memory when 
    building or reading messages.


  There are basically 3 classes of interest:
    - oscpkt::Message       : read/write the content of an OSC message
    - oscpkt::PacketReader  : read the bundles/messages embedded in an OSC packet
    - oscpkt::PacketWriter  : write bundles/messages into an OSC packet

  And optionaly:
    - oscpkt::UdpSocket     : read/write OSC packets over UDP.

  @example: oscpkt_demo.cc
  @example: oscpkt_test.cc

   The list of arguments is exposed as a sort of queue. You "pop"

   creation of a message:
   @code
