/** "param" file parser for loading multiple objects.
    The loader can be configured to recognize multiple object types from object headers
    and automatically call ParamInterface::load for matching class.
    By using MultiParamLoader::go() function you can receive status events, they can be
    used to handle multiple object instances or parse complex files (see loadtest.cpp sample code).
    A simple MultiParamLoader::run() can be used if you need any events.
