    @brief The abstract Writer which its implementations are expected to inherit.
    @note
        This class combines the various different writer interfaces into a single interface.
        The artificial separation into multiple interfaces in this case just mirrors the
        structure of the Reader hierarchy, as it's not possible to selectively write only
        specific layers.

                This function copies all the data from the given Reader into the Writer instance,
                by calling each getter function of the Reader, and passing the return values to
