- * LLEventTrackable::track(). This was workable but error-prone: the coder
- * must remember to call listenTo() rather than the more straightforward
- * listen() method.
- *
- * Now we publish only the single canonical listen() method, so there's a
- * uniform mechanism. Having a single way to do this is good, in that there's
- * no question in the coder's mind which of several alternatives to choose.
- *
- * To support automatic connection management, we use boost::visit_each
- * (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/boost/visit_each.html) to
- * inspect each argument of a boost::bind expression. (Although the visit_each
- * mechanism was first introduced with the original Boost.Signals library, it
- * was only later documented.)
- *
- * Cases:
- * * At least one of the function's arguments is a boost::weak_ptr<T>. Pass
- * the corresponding shared_ptr to slot_type::track(). Ideally that would be
- * the object whose method we want to call, but in fact we do the same for
- * any weak_ptr we might find among the bound arguments. If we're passing
- * our bound method a weak_ptr to some object, wouldn't the destruction of
- * that object invalidate the call? So we disconnect automatically when any
- * such object is destroyed. This is the mechanism preferred by boost::
- * signals2.
- * * One of the functions's arguments is a boost::shared_ptr<T>. This produces
- * a compile error: the bound copy of the shared_ptr stored in the
- * boost_bind object stored in the signal object would make the referenced
- * T object immortal. We provide a weaken() function. Pass
- * weaken(your_shared_ptr) instead. (We can inspect, but not modify, the
- * boost::bind object. Otherwise we'd replace the shared_ptr with weak_ptr
- * implicitly and just proceed.)
- * * One of the function's arguments is a plain pointer/reference to an object
- * derived from boost::enable_shared_from_this. We assume that this object
- * is managed using boost::shared_ptr, so we implicitly extract a shared_ptr
- * and track that. (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
- * * One of the function's arguments is derived from LLEventTrackable. Pass
- * the LLBoundListener to its LLEventTrackable::track(). This is vulnerable
- * to a couple different race conditions, as described in LLEventTrackable
- * documentation. (NOTE: Now that LLEventTrackable is a typedef for
- * boost::signals2::trackable, the Signals2 library handles this itself, so
- * our visitor needs no special logic for this case.)

+ * any, from the corresponding request.
+ *
+ * This supports an (atypical, but occasionally necessary) use case in which
+ * two or more asynchronous requests are multiplexed onto the same ["reply"]
+ * LLEventPump. Since the response events could arrive in arbitrary order, the
+ * caller must be able to demux them. It does so by matching the ["reqid"]
+ * value in each response with the ["reqid"] value in the corresponding
+ * request.
+ *
+ * It is the caller's responsibility to ensure distinct ["reqid"] values for
+ * that case. Though LLSD::UUID is guaranteed to work, it might be overkill:
+ * the "namespace" of unique ["reqid"] values is simply the set of requests
+ * specifying the same ["reply"] LLEventPump name.
+ *
+ * Making a given event API echo the request's ["reqid"] into the response is
+ * nearly trivial. This helper is mostly for mnemonic purposes, to serve as a
+ * place to put these comments. We hope that each time a coder implements a
+ * new event API based on some existing one, s/he will say, "Huh, what's an
+ * LLReqID?" and look up this material.
+ *
+ * The hardest part about the convention is deciding where to store the
+ * ["reqid"] value. Ironically, LLReqID can't help with that: you must store
+ * an LLReqID instance in whatever storage will persist until the reply is
+ * sent. For example, if the request ultimately ends up using a Responder
+ * subclass, storing an LLReqID instance in the Responder works.
+ *
+ * @note
+ * The @em implementer of an event API must honor the ["reqid"] convention.
+ * However, the @em caller of an event API need only use it if s/he is sharing
+ * the same ["reply"] LLEventPump for two or more asynchronous event API
+ * requests.
+ *
+ * In most cases, it's far easier for the caller to instantiate a local
+ * LLEventStream and pass its name to the event API in question. Then it's
+ * perfectly reasonable not to set a ["reqid"] key in the request, ignoring

+/**
+ * We originally provided a suite of overloaded
+ * LLEventTrackable::listenTo(LLEventPump&, ...) methods that would call
+ * LLEventPump::listen(...) and then pass the returned LLBoundListener to
+ * LLEventTrackable::track(). This was workable but error-prone: the coder
+ * must remember to call listenTo() rather than the more straightforward
+ * listen() method.
+ *
+ * Now we publish only the single canonical listen() method, so there's a
+ * uniform mechanism. Having a single way to do this is good, in that there's
+ * no question in the coder's mind which of several alternatives to choose.
+ *
+ * To support automatic connection management, we use boost::visit_each
+ * (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_37_0/doc/html/boost/visit_each.html) to
+ * inspect each argument of a boost::bind expression. (Although the visit_each
+ * mechanism was first introduced with the original Boost.Signals library, it
+ * was only later documented.)
+ *
+ * Cases:
+ * * At least one of the function's arguments is a boost::weak_ptr<T>. Pass
+ * the corresponding shared_ptr to slot_type::track(). Ideally that would be
+ * the object whose method we want to call, but in fact we do the same for
+ * any weak_ptr we might find among the bound arguments. If we're passing
+ * our bound method a weak_ptr to some object, wouldn't the destruction of
+ * that object invalidate the call? So we disconnect automatically when any
+ * such object is destroyed. This is the mechanism preferred by boost::
+ * signals2.
+ * * One of the functions's arguments is a boost::shared_ptr<T>. This produces
+ * a compile error: the bound copy of the shared_ptr stored in the
+ * boost_bind object stored in the signal object would make the referenced
+ * T object immortal. We provide a weaken() function. Pass
+ * weaken(your_shared_ptr) instead. (We can inspect, but not modify, the
+ * boost::bind object. Otherwise we'd replace the shared_ptr with weak_ptr
+ * implicitly and just proceed.)
+ * * One of the function's arguments is a plain pointer/reference to an object
+ * derived from boost::enable_shared_from_this. We assume that this object
+ * is managed using boost::shared_ptr, so we implicitly extract a shared_ptr
+ * and track that. (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)
+ * * One of the function's arguments is derived from LLEventTrackable. Pass
+ * the LLBoundListener to its LLEventTrackable::track(). This is vulnerable
+ * to a couple different race conditions, as described in LLEventTrackable
+ * documentation. (NOTE: Now that LLEventTrackable is a typedef for
+ * boost::signals2::trackable, the Signals2 library handles this itself, so
+ * our visitor needs no special logic for this case.)
+ * * Any other argument type is irrelevant to automatic connection management.
