+         <description>
+                This object is a type safe analogue of the classic C union object. 
+                The type_safe_union, unlike a union, can contain non-POD types such 
+                as std::string.    
+                <p>It is also implemented without performing any
+                   heap memory allocations and instead it stores everything on the stack.</p>
