 * NAME:        OP_Operator.h (C++)
 *
 * COMMENTS:
 *      An OP_Operator instance defines an operator which is registered
 *      with an OP_Network and subsequently allows nodes of this type to
 *      be created in networks of the corresponding type. (This is the
 *      new equivalent of the old *_TableEntry class).
