Summary: Affine model term structure class

Initial Comment:
Affine interest rate models have a nice feature: the prices of discount bonds in the future in some state of the world can be computed analytically. In this way one can quite efficiently recover the complete yield term structure in the future in some particular realisation. It would be nice to have a class derived from YieldTermStructure that implements this functionality. Attached is my implementation proposal. This implementation was developed and tested in VisualC++. To check the correctness of the implementation I have compared the prices of swaptions obtained by tree methods and by Monte-Carlo using this class. The tests were performed with Hull-White and G2 affine models.

Best regards,

Sasha

A question before I can apply the patch: who owns the copyright of the code
you contributed? Is it you, your employer, your own company...? Posting the
copyright attribution I should use, i.e., something like
    Copyright (C) 2009 Random J. Hacker
or
    Copyright (C) 2009 ACME inc.
would be best.
