/// @brief
///  Controls printing out a progress bar.
/// @details
///   A class that prints out a progress bar in the form 
///    \f$|\#\#\#\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\f$
///    that shows how far through a function or loop you are.
///   The length of it defaults to 20 hashes, but can be set when
///   declaring the object.
///   There are five functions: 
///    <ul><li>init(int)   Prints an empty bar, and defines the increment
///        <li>update(int) Prints the correct number of hashes, but only when
///                         num is a multiple of the increment.
///        <li>rewind()    Prints backspaces to cover the entire bar.
///        <li>remove()    Does a rewind(), then prints spaces to overwrite
///                         the bar area -- more clean.
///        <li>fillSpace(std::string) Does a remove(), then writes
///                                    the string into the same space.
/// </ul>
