+/// @brief Extractor class to extract key with another key.
+///
+/// This class solves the problem whereby the multi_index_container
+/// must access the values stored in object nested in other object.
+/// Assume that there is a multi_index_container that holds objects
+/// of the type A. Each object A contains the member object B.
+/// Each object B holds the member of the type C that is to be used
+/// for indexing objects A. Objects C can't be accessed directly
+/// from the object A as they are nested in the object B. In such case
+/// there is no easy way to point in the definition of the container
+/// that C should be used for indexing objects. The KeyFromKey class
+/// represents the cascaded key which can be used to extract the nested
+/// key value C from the object B.
+/// For some more examples of complex keys see:
+/// http://www.cs.brown.edu/~jwicks/boost/libs/multi_index/doc/index.html
+///
+/// @tparam KeyExtractor1 extractor used to access the object used as
+/// a key from the other object that holds it.
+/// @tparam KeyExtractor2 extractor used to access data in the object
+/// holding nested object used as a key.
