/*! \class Plug
* \brief Plug description (\b API)
*
* \section secPlugIntro Introduction
*
* A plug can be assimilated to a "logical port instance" : it
* designates both the concerned instance and the net of the
* model cell instanciated to which it is connected. This net,
* which must be an external net, will be named <b>"master
* net"</b> because it is a net of the instance master cell
* (notice that this net can be asimilated to a "logical port").
*
* A plug is unique, that is, for a given instance there is one
* and only one plug refering to a given master net.
*
* \caution When created, an instance creates all plugs corresponding to
* the external nets of its master cell. So, some plugs may
* exist without being connected. Plugs are the only components
* which have this characteristic.
*
* \remark Plugs being completely managed by the system, you can't
* define sub-types of plugs.
*
*
* \section secPlugConstructors Constructors \& Destructors
*
* Plugs being completely managed by the system, there is no
* constructor nor destructor provided.
*
*
* \section secPlugPredefinedFilters Predefined filters
