/**
 * \brief Utility class for gathering the informations of the collection
 *        of RLE frame[s] (see \ref RLEFrame)  when handling
 *        "Encapsulated RLE Compressed Images" (see PS 3.5-2003 annex G). 
 *        Note: a classical image can be considered as the degenerated case
 *              of a multiframe image. In this case the collection is limited
 *              to a single individual frame.
 *        The informations on each frame are obtained during the parsing
 *        of a Document (refer to
 *          \ref Document::ComputeRLEInfo() ).
 *        They shall be used when (if necessary) decoding the frames.
 *
 *        This class is simply a stl list<> of \ref RLEFrame.
