        A simple struct template useful to store ranges of values as min/max pairs.
        This struct template helps storing min/max ranges for values of any kind; class <CODE>ValueType</CODE> is
        the type of values to be stored, and it must support operations <CODE>ValueType + ValueType</CODE>, <CODE>ValueType - ValueType</CODE>, 
        and <CODE>ValueType * float</CODE>, otherwise the <CODE>geValueTyperandom()</CODE> method will not compile.
        This struct could be extended to customize the random number generator (now it uses only 
        <CODE>std::rand()</CODE>).
