    * \ingroup core
    * 
    * Creation from a file or string stream should be performed using
    * the class Fasta. Align objects can be created by deep copy from
    * both Align and Container type. In the latter case, the length are
    * artificially equalized by "?" characters. Align objects can be
    * created from a DataMatrix object (and all the way arround) using
    * the specific class DMAConverter.
    *
    * Sequences are represented by two strings (name and sequence) and
    * an integer (group) that can be accessed or modified by index.The
    * order of sequences is guaranteed to be conserved, as if Align was
    * a list of triplets (name, sequence, group).
    *
    * The data matrix is implemented as continuous array (char**) and
    * allows efficient access and modification of data. For very large
    * data matrices you might claim immediately the required memory
    * using the constructor Align(unsigned int, char**).
