    /// Structs and unions access child members using a zero based index
    /// for each child member. For

    /// Classes reserve the first indexes for base classes that have

    /// Pointers differ depending on what they point to. If the pointer
    /// points to a simple type, the child at index zero

    /// and can create 'synthetic' child values using positive or 
    /// negative indexes. If the pointer points to an aggregate type 
    /// (an array, class, union, struct), then the pointee is 
    /// transparently skipped and any children are going to be the indexes
    /// of the child values within the aggregate type. For example if
    /// we have a 'Point' type and we have a SBValue that contains a
    /// pointer to a 'Point' type, then the child at index zero will be
    /// the 'x' member, and the child at index 1 will be the 'y' member
    /// (the child at index zero won't be a 'Point' instance).
    /// 
    /// Arrays have a preset number of children that can be accessed by
    /// index and will returns invalid child values for indexes that are
    /// out of bounds unless the \a synthetic_allowed is \b true. In this
