/** \class NumLimitsT Tools/Utils/NumLimitsT.hh 

    This class provides the maximum and minimum values a certain
    scalar type (\c int, \c float, or \c double) can store. You can
    use it like this:
    \code
    #include <OpenMesh/Utils/NumLimitsT.hh>

    int   float_min   = OpenMesh::NumLimitsT<float>::min();
    float double_max  = OpenMesh::NumLimitsT<double>::max();
    \endcode
    
    \note This functionality should be provided by
    std::numeric_limits.  This template does not exist on gcc <=
    2.95.3. The class template NumLimitsT is just a workaround.
