/** \class STLContainerAdaptor
 *  \brief An adapter object that casts a itk::XxxContainer into std::xxx
 *         and enables access to the underlying data structure.
 *
 * When the STLContainerAdaptor
 * is destroyed, it automatically calls XxxContainer::Modified().
 *
 * Here's a usage example of STLContainerAdaptor:
 *
   \code
       itk::STLContainerAdaptor<itk::VectorContainer<size_t, ElementType>> vecAdaptor(aContainer);
       std::vector<ElementType> & vec = vecAdaptor.GetSTLContainerRef();
       // do things with vec ...
       // upon return from function, vecAdaptor is destroyed and aContainer is Modified()
   \endcode
