/// This template class is used to store configuration parameters, like lifetime
/// or T1. It defines 3 parameters: min, default, and max value. If the
/// particular configuration parameter is not mandatory, it is possible to
/// mark the parameter described by a @c Triplet "unspecified". For example, the
/// T1 and T2 values in DHCPv4 server are optional and may be not specified
/// in the configuration. The @c Triplets describing these parameters will be
/// marked "unspecified". If the server finds that the particular parameter
/// is unspecified it will not include it (e.g. option 58 or 59) in the message
/// to a client.
///
/// There are 3 constructors:
/// - without parameters - marks the parameter "unspecified"
/// - simple (just one value that sets all parameters)
/// - extended (that sets default value and two thresholds)
///
/// It will be used with integer types. It provides necessary operators, so
/// it can be assigned to a plain integer or integer assigned to a Triplet.
/// See TripletTest.operator test for details on an easy Triplet usage.
