*****************************************************************************/
/**
 * This class helps the implementer of a given event API to honor the
 * ["reqid"] convention. By this convention, each event API stamps into its
 * response LLSD a ["reqid"] key whose value echoes the ["reqid"] value, if
 * 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
 * the @c isUndefined() ["reqid"] value in the response.
