/** @file meta.hpp
** Internal and organisational metadata. Some internally created data elements,
** like automation data sets, inventory of session contents, can be exposed and
** treated as specific Kind of Asset.
**
** For the different <i>Kinds</i> of Assets, we use sub-interfaces inheriting
** from the general Asset interface. To be able to get asset::Meta instances
** directly from the AssetManager, we define a specialisation of the Asset ID.

** @see asset.hpp explanation of assets in general
