/** Declares a virtual base class for all metric maps storage classes.
 *  In this class virtual methods are provided to allow the insertion
 *  of any type of "CObservation" objects into the metric map, thus
 *  updating the map (doesn't matter if it is a 2D/3D grid, a point map, etc.).
 *
 *  Observations don't include any information about the
 *  robot pose, just the raw observation and information about
 *  the sensor pose relative to the robot mobile base coordinates origin.
 *
 *  Note that all metric maps implement this mrpt::system::CObservable
 *interface,
 *   emitting the following events:
 *    - mrpt::obs::mrptEventMetricMapClear: Upon call of the ::clear() method.
 *    - mrpt::obs::mrptEventMetricMapInsert: Upon insertion of an observation
 *that effectively modifies the map (e.g. inserting an image into a grid map
 *will NOT raise an event, inserting a laser scan will).
 *
 * To check what observations are supported by each metric map, see: \ref
 *maps_observations
 *
 * \note All derived class must implement a static class factory
 *`<metric_map_class>::MapDefinition()` that builds a default
 *TMetricMapInitializer [New in MRPT 1.3.0]
