/** @file dot-gen.hpp
 ** Support for generation of Graphviz-DOT code for structure visualisation.
 ** The [dot language] offers a simple notation to represent structural information
 ** as diagrams of abstract graphs and networks. The *Graphviz* layout programs
 ** translate these into automatically arranged diagrams graphs, relying on basic
 ** layout schemes like directed and undirected graphs, force-directed placement,
 ** radial arrangements, clustered graphs or squarified treemap layout. These
 ** visualisations can be rendered as images, vector graphic SVG or PDF and
 ** a lot of further formats.
 ** 
 ** The namespace lib::dot_gen contains a set of integrated builder DSL functions
 ** to simplify the task of syntax generation; notable it is possible to set up
 ** several [sections](\ref lib::dot_gen::Section), which can then be gradually
 ** populated with definition clauses while traversing a data structure.
 ** 
 ** @todo 11/2023 this is an initial draft, shaped by the immediate need to visualise
 **       [random generated](\ref vault::gear::test::TestChainLoad) computation
 **       patterns for Scheduler [load testing](\ref SchedulerStress_test).
 **       The abstraction level of this DSL is low and structures closely match
 **       some clauses of the DOT language; this approach may not yet be adequate
 **       to generate more complex graph structures and was extracted as a starting
 **       point for further refinements.
 ** 
 ** ## Usage
 ** The top-level entrance point is lib::dot_get::digraph(), allowing to combine a
 ** series of lib::dot_gen::Section definitions into a DOT script, which can then
 ** be retrieved by string conversion (or sent to standard output)
 ** - Section is an accumulator of lines with DOT language specs
 ** - Code is a string with syntax, used as base for some pre-configured terms
 ** - Node defines a variable name, but can be augmented with attributes to
 **   build a _node-statement_
 ** - Scope is meant as a device to group several nodes together, typically to
 **   form a cluster or stratum in the generated layout
 ** 
 ** @see TestChainLoad_test
 ** @see SchedulerStress_test
