+     * add() chronology, providing a pop() method to remove the most recently
+     * added node.
+     * *** It may further be useful to add a restore() method which would

+ * LLEventTrackable wraps boost::signals2::trackable, which resembles

+ * and use something like
+ * <tt>LLEventPump::listen(boost::bind(&YourTrackableSubclass::method,
+ * instance, _1))</tt>. This will implicitly disconnect when the object
+ * referenced by @c instance is destroyed.
+ *
+ * @note
+ * LLEventTrackable doesn't address a couple of cases:
+ * * Object destroyed during call
+ *   - You enter a slot call in thread A.
+ *   - Thread B destroys the object, which of course disconnects it from any
+ *     future slot calls.
+ *   - Thread A's call uses 'this', which now refers to a defunct object.
+ *     Undefined behavior results.
+ * * Call during destruction
+ *   - @c MySubclass is derived from LLEventTrackable.
+ *   - @c MySubclass registers one of its own methods using
+ *     <tt>LLEventPump::listen()</tt>.
+ *   - The @c MySubclass object begins destruction. <tt>~MySubclass()</tt>
+ *     runs, destroying state specific to the subclass. (For instance, a
+ *     <tt>Foo*</tt> data member is <tt>delete</tt>d but not zeroed.)
+ *   - The listening method will not be disconnected until
+ *     <tt>~LLEventTrackable()</tt> runs.
+ *   - Before we get there, another thread posts data to the @c LLEventPump
+ *     instance, calling the @c MySubclass method.
+ *   - The method in question relies on valid @c MySubclass state. (For
+ *     instance, it attempts to dereference the <tt>Foo*</tt> pointer that was
+ *     <tt>delete</tt>d but not zeroed.)
+ *   - Undefined behavior results.
+ * If you suspect you may encounter any such scenario, you're better off
+ * managing the lifespan of your object with <tt>boost::shared_ptr</tt>.
+ * Passing <tt>LLEventPump::listen()</tt> a <tt>boost::bind()</tt> expression

+/**
+ * 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.

+ * @brief  Lazy instantiation of specified type. Useful in conjunction with

+ *         Effectively with Legacy Code", p. 352).
+ *
+ * Quoting his synopsis of steps on p.355:
+ *
+ * 1. Identify the object you need a getter for.
+ * 2. Extract all of the logic needed to create the object into a getter.
+ * 3. Replace all uses of the object with calls to the getter, and initialize
+ *    the reference that holds the object to null in all constructors.
+ * 4. Add the first-time logic to the getter so that the object is constructed
+ *    and assigned to the reference whenever the reference is null.
+ * 5. Subclass the class and override the getter to provide an alternative
+ *    object for testing.
+ *
+ * It's the second half of bullet 3 (3b, as it were) that bothers me. I find
+ * it all too easy to imagine adding pointer initializers to all but one
+ * constructor... the one not exercised by my tests. That suggested using
+ * (e.g.) boost::scoped_ptr<MyObject> so you don't have to worry about
+ * destroying it either.
+ *
+ * However, introducing additional machinery allows us to encapsulate bullet 4
+ * as well.

+/**
+ * LLLazy<T> is useful when you have an outer class Outer that you're trying
+ * to bring under unit test, that contains a data member difficult to
+ * instantiate in a test harness. Typically the data member's class Inner has
+ * many thorny dependencies. Feathers generally advocates "Extract and
+ * Override Factory Method" (p. 350). But in C++, you can't call a derived
+ * class override of a virtual method from the derived class constructor,
+ * which limits applicability of "Extract and Override Factory Method." For
+ * such cases Feathers presents "Extract and Override Getter" (p. 352).
+ *
+ * So we'll assume that your class Outer contains a member like this:
+ * @code
+ * Inner mInner;
+ * @endcode
+ *
+ * LLLazy<Inner> can be used to replace this member. You can directly declare:
+ * @code
+ * LLLazy<Inner> mInner;
+ * @endcode
+ * and change references to mInner accordingly.
+ *
+ * (Alternatively, you can add a base class of the form
+ * <tt>LLLazyBase<Inner></tt>. This is discussed further in the LLLazyBase<T>
+ * documentation.)
+ *
+ * LLLazy<T> binds a <tt>boost::scoped_ptr<T></tt> and a factory functor
+ * returning T*. You can either bind that functor explicitly or let it default
+ * to the expression <tt>new T()</tt>.
+ *
+ * As long as LLLazy<T> remains unreferenced, its T remains uninstantiated.
+ * The first time you use get(), <tt>operator*()</tt> or <tt>operator->()</tt>
+ * it will instantiate its T and thereafter behave like a pointer to it.
+ *
+ * Thus, any existing reference to <tt>mInner.member</tt> should be replaced
+ * with <tt>mInner->member</tt>. Any simple reference to @c mInner should be
+ * replaced by <tt>*mInner</tt>.
+ *
+ * (If the original declaration was a pointer initialized in Outer's
+ * constructor, e.g. <tt>Inner* mInner</tt>, so much the better. In that case
+ * you should be able to drop in <tt>LLLazy<Inner></tt> without much change.)
+ *
+ * The support for "Extract and Override Getter" lies in the fact that you can
+ * replace the factory functor -- or provide an explicit T*. Presumably this
+ * is most useful from a test subclass -- which suggests that your @c mInner
+ * member should be @c protected.
+ *
+ * Note that <tt>boost::lambda::new_ptr<T>()</tt> makes a dandy factory
+ * functor, for either the set() method or LLLazy<T>'s constructor. If your T
+ * requires constructor arguments, use an expression more like
+ * <tt>boost::lambda::bind(boost::lambda::new_ptr<T>(), arg1, arg2, ...)</tt>.
+ *
+ * Of course the point of replacing the functor is to substitute a class that,
+ * though referenced as Inner*, is not an Inner; presumably this is a testing
+ * subclass of Inner (e.g. TestInner). Thus your test subclass TestOuter for
+ * the containing class Outer will contain something like this:
+ * @code
+ * class TestOuter: public Outer
+ * {
+ * public:
+ *     TestOuter()
+ *     {
+ *         // mInner must be 'protected' rather than 'private'
+ *         mInner.set(boost::lambda::new_ptr<TestInner>());
+ *     }
+ *     ...
+ * };
