 * @class GModelTemporalRegistry
 *
 * @brief Interface definition for the temporal model registry class.
 *
 * The registry class allows the registration of temporal models that are not
 * necessarily compiled into the GammaLib. It uses the static members
 * m_number and m_models which are allocated globally to keep track of
 * temporal models that are available throughout all linked libraries. To
 * register a temporal model it is sufficient to add
 *
 *     const GModelTemporalXXX      g_temporal_XXX_seed;
 *     const GModelTemporalRegistry g_temporal_XXX_registry(&g_spectral_XXX_seed);
 *
 * at the top of the .cpp file of the temporal model. Here, XXX is a unique
 * name that describes the model.
