/**
 * This is a low-level messaging API upon which more structured or restrictive
 * APIs may be built.  The general idea is that every messageable entity is
 * represented by a common handle type (called a Cid in this implementation),
 * which allows messages to be sent to in-process threads, on-host processes,
 * and foreign-host processes using the same interface.  This is an important
 * aspect of scalability because it allows the components of a program to be
 * spread across available resources with few to no changes to the actual
 * implementation.
 *
 * Right now, only in-process threads are supported and referenced by a more
 * specialized handle called a Tid.  It is effectively a subclass of Cid, with
 * additional features specific to in-process messaging.
