     * Derive your listener from LLEventAPI as usual, with its various
     * operation methods, but code your constructor to accept
     * <tt>(const LL::LazyEventAPIParams& params)</tt>
     * and forward that reference to (the protected)
     * <tt>LLEventAPI(const LL::LazyEventAPIParams&)</tt> constructor.
     *
     * Then derive your listener registrar from
     * <tt>LazyEventAPI<your LLEventAPI subclass></tt>. The constructor should
     * look very like a traditional LLEventAPI constructor:
     *
     * * pass (name, desc [, field]) to LazyEventAPI's constructor
     * * in the body, make a series of add() calls referencing your LLEventAPI
     *   subclass methods.
     *
     * You may use any LLEventAPI::add() methods, that is, any
     * LLEventDispatcher::add() methods. But the target methods you pass to
     * add() must belong to your LLEventAPI subclass, not the LazyEventAPI
     * subclass.
     *
     * Declare a static instance of your LazyEventAPI listener registrar
     * class. When it's constructed at static initialization time, it will
     * register your LLEventAPI subclass with LLEventPumps. It will also
     * collect metadata for the LLEventAPI and its operations to provide to
     * LLLeapListener's introspection queries.
     *
     * When someone later calls LLEventPumps::obtain() to post an event to
     * your LLEventAPI subclass, obtain() will instantiate it using
     * LazyEventAPI's name, desc, field and add() calls.
