// UnknownElement - provides a typesafe surrogate for any of the JSON-
//  sanctioned element types. This class allows the Array and Object
//  class to effectively contain a heterogeneous set of child elements.
// The cast operators provide convenient implicit downcasting, while
//  preserving dynamic type safety by throwing an exception during a
//  a bad cast. 
// The object & array element index operators (operators [std::string]
//  and [size_t]) provide convenient, quick access to child elements.
//  They are a logical extension of the cast operators. These child
//  element accesses can be chained together, allowing the following
//  (when document structure is well-known):
//  String str = objInvoices[1]["Customer"]["Company"];
