/// Generally, a separate derived class directly inherited from the base
/// \c Rdata class is defined for each well known RDATA.
/// Each of such classes will define the common logic based on the
/// corresponding protocol standard.
///
/// Since some types of RRs are class specific and the corresponding RDATA
/// may have different semantics (e.g. type A for class IN and type A for
/// class CH have different representations and semantics), we separate
/// \c Rdata derived classes for such RR types in different namespaces.
/// The namespace of types specific to a class is named the lower-cased class
/// name; for example, RDATA of class IN-specific types are defined in the
/// \c in namespace, and RDATA of class CH-specific types are defined in
/// the \c ch namespace, and so on.
/// The derived classes are named using the RR type name (upper cased) such as
/// \c A or \c AAAA.
/// Thus RDATA of type A RR for class IN and CH are defined as \c in::A and
/// \c ch::A, respectively.
/// Many other RR types are class independent; the derived \c Rdata classes
/// for such RR types are defined in the \c generic namespace.  Examples are
/// \c generic::NS and \c generic::SOA.
///
/// If applications need to refer to these derived classes, it is generally
/// recommended to prepend at least some part of the namespace because the
/// same class name can be used in different namespaces.
/// So, instead of doing
/// \code using namespace isc::dns::rdata::in;
/// A& rdata_type_a; \endcode
/// it is advisable to prepend at least \c in from the namespace:
/// \code using namespace isc::dns::rdata;
/// in::A& rdata_type_a; \endcode
///
/// In many cases, however, an application doesn't have to care about such
/// derived classes.
/// For instance, to parse an incoming DNS message an application wouldn't
/// have to perform type specific operation unless the application is
/// specifically concerned about a particular type.
/// So, this API generally handles \c Rdata in a polymorphic way through
