//       Class : EventParameter
// Description : An optional parameter associated with an event.  Each
//               event may have zero or more of these.  Each parameter
//               stores a pointer to a TypedWritableReferenceCount
//               object, which of course could be pretty much
//               anything.  To store a simple value like a double or a
//               string, the EventParameter constructors transparently
//               use the EventStoreValue template class, defined
//               below.
