-/*
-    This is an example showing how to use the type_safe_union and pipe object from
-    from the dlib C++ Library to send messages between threads.
-
-    In this example we will create a class with a single thread in it.  This thread
-    will receive messages from a pipe object and simply print them to the screen.   
-    The interesting thing about this example is that it shows how to use a pipe and
-    type_safe_union to create a message channel between threads that can send many
-    different types of objects in a type safe manner.

-    Program output:
-        got a float: 4.567
-        got a string: string message
-        got an int: 7
-        got a string: yet another string message

-/*  This is a typedef for the type_safe_union we will be using in this example.
-    This type_safe_union object is a type-safe analogue of a union declared as follows:
-        union our_union_type
-        {
-            int a;
-            float b;
-            std::string c;
-        };
-   
-    Note that the above union isn't actually valid C++ code because it contains a
-    non-POD type.  That is, you can't put a std::string or any non-trivial 
-    C++ class in a union.   The type_safe_union, however, enables you to store non-POD 
-    types such as the std::string.
