/**
  A reference caching channel service.

  The goal of this service is to ensure that event producers spend
  a MINIMAL amount of time in the emitting code when there are no consumers of
  the produced events.

  Terminology
  -----------

  An event consumer is an implementation of a component service.
  An event producer is a piece of code that wants to inform all currently
  registered event consumers about an event.
  A channel is a device that serves as a singleton of all reference caches
  for all threads that are to produce events.
  A reference cache is something each thread producing events must maintain
  for its lifetime and use it to find the references to event consumers it
  needs to call.

  Typical lifetime of the event consumers
  ---------------------------------------

  At init time the event consumer will register implementations of any of
  the services it's interested in receiving notifications for.

  Then optionally it might force a channel invalidation to make sure all
  existing event producers will start sending notifications to it immediately.
  Or it can just sit and wait for the natural producer's reference cache
  refresh cycles to kick in.

  Now it is receiving notifications from all event producers as they come.

  When it wishes to no longer receive notifications it needs to mark itself
  as invisible for reference cache fill-ins. In this way all reference cache
  flushes will not pick this implementation up even if it's still registered
  in the registry.

  Eventually all active references will be removed by the natural producers
  flush cycles.
  The consumer may choose to expedite this by triggering a channel
  invalidation.

  As with all service implementations, when all references to the services
  are released it can unload.

  Typical lifetime of the event producers
  ---------------------------------------

  An event producer will usually start at init time by creating channel(s).

  Then, for each thread wishing to produce events, a reference cache must
  be created and maintained until the thread will no longer be producing
  events.

  Now the thread can produce events using the reference cache.
  This is done by calling the get method and then iterating over the
  resulting set of references and calling each one in turn as one would
  normally do for registry service references.
  It is assumed that the references are owned by the cache and thus they
  should not be released.

  With some cyclical (e.g. at the end of each statement or something)
  the event producing thread needs to flush the cache. This is to ensure
  that references to event consumers are not held for very long and that
  new event consumers are picked up. However flushing the cache is a relatively
  expensive operation and thus a balance between the number of events produced
  and the cache being flushed must be achieved.

  General remarks
  ---------------

  Channels are something each event producer must have to produce events.
  Channels are to be created by a single thread before the first event is ever
  produced. And, once created they are to be kept until after the last event is
  produced.

  Channels serve as singletons for caches and you only need one channel instance
  per event producer component.
  There usually will be multiple caches (one per event producing thread) per
  channel.

  Creating and destroying a channel is a relatively "expensive" operation that
  might involve some synchronization and should not be done frequently.

  Channels exist to allow a non-related thread to trigger invalidation of all
  currently active caches on that channel. This is necessary when for example
  event consumers are registered and are about to be removed.

  Invalidating a channel is a thread-safe operation that can be invoked without
  synchronization at any time.

  Each channel is associated with a specific set of service names.
  @note It is a set of service names, not implementation names !

  The names are stored and used in event caches to handle all implementations
  of that particular service.
