 * @brief  Central mechanism for dispatching events by string name. This is
 *         useful when you have a single LLEventPump listener on which you can
 *         request different operations, vs. instantiating a different
 *         LLEventPump for each such operation.

/*****************************************************************************
*   LLDispatchListener
*****************************************************************************/
/**
 * Bundle an LLEventPump and a listener with an LLEventDispatcher. A class
 * that contains (or derives from) LLDispatchListener need only specify the
 * LLEventPump name and dispatch key, and add() its methods. Each incoming
 * event ("request") will automatically be dispatched.
 *
 * If the request contains a "reply" key specifying the LLSD::String name of
 * an LLEventPump to which to respond, LLDispatchListener will attempt to send
 * a response to that LLEventPump.
 *
 * If some error occurs (e.g. nonexistent callable name, wrong params) and
 * "reply" is present, LLDispatchListener will send a response map to the
 * specified LLEventPump containing an "error" key whose value is the relevant
 * error message. If "reply" is not present, the DispatchError exception will
 * propagate. Since LLDispatchListener bundles an LLEventStream, which
 * attempts the call immediately on receiving the post() call, there's a
 * reasonable chance that the exception will highlight the post() call that
 * triggered the error.
 *
 * If LLDispatchListener successfully calls the target callable, but no
 * "reply" key is present, any value returned by that callable is discarded.
 * If a "reply" key is present, but the target callable is void -- or it
 * returns LLSD::isUndefined() -- no response is sent. If a void callable
 * wants to send a response, it must do so explicitly.
 *
 * If the target callable returns a type convertible to LLSD (and, if it
 * directly returns LLSD, the return value isDefined()), and if a "reply" key
 * is present in the request, LLDispatchListener will post the returned value
 * to the "reply" LLEventPump. If the returned value is an LLSD map, it will
 * merge the echoed "reqid" key into the map and send that. Otherwise, it will
 * send an LLSD map containing "reqid" and a "data" key whose value is the
 * value returned by the target callable.
 *
 * (It is inadvisable for a target callable to return an LLSD map containing
 * keys "data", "reqid" or "error", as that will confuse the invoker.)
 *
 * Normally the request will specify the value of the dispatch key as an
 * LLSD::String naming the target callable. Alternatively, several such calls
 * may be "batched" as described below.
 *
 * If the value of the dispatch key is itself an LLSD map (a "request map"),
 * each map key must name a target callable, and the value of that key must
 * contain the parameters to pass to that callable. If a "reply" key is
 * present in the request, the response map will contain a key for each of the
 * keys in the request map. The value of every such key is the value returned
 * by the target callable.
 *
 * (Avoid naming any target callable in the LLDispatchListener "data", "reqid"
 * or "error" to avoid confusion.)
 *
 * Since LLDispatchListener calls the target callables specified by a request
 * map in arbitrary order, this form assumes that the batched operations are
 * independent of each other. LLDispatchListener will attempt every call, even
 * if some attempts produce errors. If any keys in the request map produce
 * errors, LLDispatchListener builds a composite error message string
 * collecting the relevant messages. The corresponding keys will be missing
 * from the response map. As in the single-callable case, absent a "reply" key
 * in the request, this error message will be thrown as a DispatchError. With
 * a "reply" key, it will be returned as the value of the "error" key. This
 * form can indicate partial success: some request keys might have
 * return-value keys in the response, others might have message text in the
 * "error" key.
 *
 * If a specific call sequence is required, the value of the dispatch key may
 * instead be an LLSD array (a "request array"). Each entry in the request
 * array ("request entry") names a target callable, to be called in
 * array-index sequence. Arguments for that callable may be specified in
 * either of two ways.
 *
 * The request entry may itself be a two-element array, whose [0] is an
 * LLSD::String naming the target callable and whose [1] contains the
 * arguments to pass to that callable.
 *
 * Alternatively, the request entry may be an LLSD::String naming the target
 * callable, in which case the request must contain an arguments key (optional
 * third constructor argument) whose value is an array matching the request
 * array. The arguments for the request entry's target callable are found at
 * the same index in the arguments key array.
 *
 * If a "reply" key is present in the request, the response map will contain a
 * "data" key whose value is an array. Each entry in that response array will
 * contain the result from the corresponding request entry.
 *
 * This form assumes that any of the batched operations might depend on the
 * success of a previous operation in the same batch. The @emph first error
 * encountered will terminate the sequence. The error message might either be
 * thrown as DispatchError or, given a "reply" key, returned as the "error"
 * key in the response map. This form can indicate partial success: the first
 * few request entries might have return-value entries in the "data" response
 * array, along with an "error" key whose value is the error message that
 * stopped the sequence.
