/**
 *@class KKMLL::FeatureNumList
 *@brief Keeps track of selected features.  
 *@details Used by SVMModel and the newer 'Model', 'ModelParam' based classes.
 * Each instance of this class will have an associated 'FileDesc' instance. It
 * is meant to keep track of selected features from that instance('FileDesc').
 * <br />
 * This class is meant to work with both the FeaureVector, Model, and ModelParm
 * based classes.  This will allow us to select specific features
 * from the FeatureVector instances that are to be used.
 * <br />
 * At no time are feature numbers that are out of range of the associated 
 * FileDesc instance to be selected.
 * <br />
 * Two of the constructors allow you to specify a list of features in a string.
 * The list can consist of single features and/or ranges of features. Ranges of
 * features are specified by using the dash('-') character between two numbers.
 * The comma(',') character will be used as a separator.  "All" specifies all are
 * to be selected except those that are flagged as  'IgnoreAttribute' in the 
 * associated FileDesc instance. The list should be in ascending order.
 *
 *@code
 *  Example Strings:
 *    "1,2,3,10,20"    Selects [1,2,3,10, 20].
 *    "1,4-7,9-12,13"  Selects [1,4,,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,13]
 *    "All"            Selects all features that '_fileDesc' includes accept
 *                     those that are flagged as 'IgnoreAttribute' in the 
 *                     associated FileDesc instance.
