// <prerequisite>

// </prerequisite>
//
// <synopsis>
// Given N function objects, the class describes a linear combination of the 
// form:
// <srcblock>
// f(x) = a(0)*f(0)(x) + a(1)*f(1)(x) + ... + a(N-1)*f(N-1)(x)
// </srcblock>
// where a = {a(n)} are parameters. If the combi function is used in
// a functional fitting process (see
// <linkto class=LinearFit>LinearFit</linkto>) these parameters canm be
// solved for. In all aspects they behave as
// <linkto class=FunctionParam>FunctionParam</linkto> values.
//
// Member functions are added with the <src>addFunction()</src> method.
//
// <note role=tip>
// Check <linkto class=CompoundFunction>CompoundFunction</linkto> class
// for a combination of functions behaving as one object. </note>
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// In the following example a second order polynomial is built from 3 separate
// polynomials.
// <srcblock>
// Polynomial<Double> constant(0); 
// Polynomial<Double> linear(1); 
// Polynomial<Double> square(2);
// 
// constant.setCoefficient(0, 1.0);   // 1
// linear.setCoefficient(1, 1.0);     // x
// square[2] = 1.0;     // x^2
// 
// CombiFunction<Double> combination;
// 
// // form function, e0 + e1*x + e2*x^2
// combination.addFunction(constant);
// combination.addFunction(linear);
// combination.addFunction(square);
// </srcblock>
// </example>

// <templating arg=T>
//  <li> T should have standard numerical operators and exp() function. Current
//	implementation only tested for real types.
//  <li> To obtain derivatives, the derivatives should be defined.
// </templating>

// <thrown>
// <li> AipsError in debug mode if incorrect function index

// <motivation>
// This class was created to allow specialization of the evaluation in
