                                 object. This attribute is used in cases where

        :_multi_parent_objects: Neo objects that can be parents of this

        :_necessary_attrs: A list of tuples containing the attributes that the
                           class must have. The tuple can have 2-4 elements.
                           The first element is the attribute name.
                           The second element is the attribute type.
                           The third element is the number of  dimensions
                           (only for numpy arrays and quantities).
                           The fourth element is the dtype of array

                           parents or children of the object.
        :_recommended_attrs: A list of tuples containing the attributes that
                             the class may optionally have.  It uses the same
                             structure as :_necessary_attrs:
        :_repr_pretty_attrs_keys_: The names of attributes printed when
                                   pretty-printing using iPython.

    The following helper properties are available:
        :_parent_objects: All parent objects.

        :_single_parent_containers: The names of the container attributes used

        :parents: All objects that are parents of the current object.
        :_all_attrs: All required and optional attributes.
                     :_necessary_attrs: + :_recommended_attrs:

    The following "universal" methods are available:
        :__init__: Grabs the universally recommended arguments :attr:`name`,
            :attr:`file_origin`, and :attr:`description` and stores them as
            attributes.

            Also takes every additional argument (that is, every argument
            that is not handled by :class:`BaseNeo` or the child class), and
            puts in the dict :attr:`annotations`.

        :annotate(**args): Updates :attr:`annotations` with keyword/value
                           pairs.

        :merge(**args): Merge the contents of another object into this one.
                        The merge method implemented here only merges
                        annotations (see :merge_annotations:).
                        Subclasses should implementt their own merge rules.

        :merge_annotations(**args): Merge the :attr:`annotations` of another
                                    object into this one.

    Each child class should:
        0) describe its parents (if any) and attributes in the relevant
           class attributes. :_recommended_attrs: should append
           BaseNeo._recommended_attrs to the end.
        1) call BaseNeo.__init__(self, name=name, description=description,

           with the universal recommended arguments, plus optional annotations
        2) process its required arguments in its __new__ or __init__ method
        3) process its non-universal recommended arguments (in its __new__ or
           __init__ method

    Non-keyword arguments should only be used for required arguments.

    The required and recommended arguments for each child class (Neo object)
    are specified in the _necessary_attrs and _recommended_attrs attributes and
    documentation for the child object.
