Objects from the Class
Objects can be created by calls of the form new("ParamFamily", ...).
More frequently they are created via the generating function
ParamFamily.Extends
Class "ProbFamily", directly.Details for methods <code>show</code>, <code>print</code>
Detailedness of output by methods show, print is controlled
by the global option show.details to be set by
distrModoptions.
As method show is used when inspecting an object by typing the object's
name into the console, show comes without extra arguments and hence
detailedness must be controlled by global options.
Method print may be called with a (partially matched) argument
show.details, and then the global option is temporarily set to this
value.
For class ParamFamily, this becomes relevant for slot param.
For details therefore confer to ParamFamParameter-class.concept
