/**
 * \class document::PrimitiveDataType
 * \ingroup datatype
 *
 * \brief Data type describing a primitive.
 *
 * This class describes a primitive data type. Normally you will not access
 * this class directly, you'll use the global datatypes created in DataType,
 * such as DataType::STRING and DataType::INT
 *
 * \todo Add a LiteralDataType subclass, such that this class can become
 *       abstract. Right now you can create a PrimitiveDataType object with
 *       a numeric type id, which is just plain wrong.
