  //
  // <synopsis>
  // SparseDiffA is an <linkto class=SparseDiff>SparseDiff</linkto>. It is used
  // to be able to distinguish between two template incarnations; e.g. to
  // have one or more specializations, in addition to the general template
  // version.
  // </synopsis>
  //
  // <example>
  // See for an extensive example the demo program dSparseDiff. It is
  // based on the example given in the <linkto class=SparseDiff>SparseDiff</linkto>
  // class, and shows how to have both an automatic and a specific version
  // of a function object.
  // <srcblock>
  // 	// The function, with fixed parameters a,b:
  //	template <class T> class f {
  //	public:
  //	  T operator()(const T& x) { return a_p*a_p*a_p*b_p*b_p*x; }
  //	  void set(const T& a, const T& b) { a_p = a; b_p = b; }
  //	private:
  //	  T a_p;
  //	  T b_p;
  //	};
  //	// The specialized function
  //	template <> class f<SparseDiffA<Double> > {
  //	public:
  //	  T operator()(const T& x) { return a_p*a_p*a_p*b_p*b_p*x; }
  //	  void set(const T& a, const T& b) { a_p = a; b_p = b; }
  //	private:
  //	  T a_p;
  //	  T b_p;
  //	};
  //	// Call it with different template arguments:
  //	  SparseDiff<Double> a1(2,0), b1(3,1), x1(7);
  //	  f<SparseDiff<Double> > f1; f1.set(a1, b1);
  //	  cout << "Diff a,b:   " << f1(x1) << endl;
  //	
  //	  f<SparseDiffA<Double> > f12; f12.set(a1, b1);
  //	  cout << "Same....:   " << f12(x1) << endl;
  //
  //    // Result will be:
  //    // Diff a,b:  (504, [756, 336])
  //    // Same....:  (504, [756, 336])
  //
  //    // It needed the template instantiations definitions:
  //	template class f<SparseDiff<Double> >;
  // </srcblock>
  // </example>

  // The class was created to enable separate calculations of the same
  // function.
