      A property of a data-object that can exist in
      many shapes and sizes, but not simultaneously; which
      distinguishes it from a {union}.   It is often implemented as a
      set of {classes} (or structs) derived from a common {base
      class} (or with a common header, as in the case of structs),
      typically without any {method}s.
  
      It has been loosely described as {polymorphic} data.
