// This file implements a basic liquid crystal library that comes as standard
// in the Arduino SDK.
// 
// @brief 
// This is a basic implementation of the LiquidCrystal library of the
// Arduino SDK. This library is a refactored version of the one supplied
// in the Arduino SDK in such a way that it simplifies its extension
// to support other mechanism to communicate to LCDs such as I2C, Serial, SR, 
// The original library has been reworked in such a way that this will be
// the base class implementing all generic methods to command an LCD based
// on the Hitachi HD44780 and compatible chipsets.
//
// This base class is a pure abstract class and needs to be extended. As reference,
// it has been extended to drive 4 and 8 bit mode control, LCDs and I2C extension
// backpacks such as the I2CLCDextraIO using the PCF8574* I2C IO Expander ASIC.
//
// The functionality provided by this class and its base class is identical
// to the original functionality of the Arduino LiquidCrystal library.
//
// @version API 1.1.0
