/** Declares a class that represents a Probability Density Function (PDF) of a
 * 3D pose (6D actually), by means of a 7-vector with a translation [x y z] and
 * a quaternion [qr qx qy qz].
 *   This class is just the base class for unifying many diferent ways this PDF
 * can be implemented.
 *
 *  For convenience, a pose composition is also defined for any
 *    PDF derived class, changeCoordinatesReference, in the form of a method
 * rather than an operator.
 *
 *  - For a similar class for 3D points (without attitude), see CPointPDF.
 *  - For a similar class for 3D poses  (with Euler angles instead of
 * quaternions), see CPose3DPDF.
