/**
 * \file message.h
 * \brief Message queue support
 *
 * The messaging API enables inter-thread communication through message
 * posting. Messages can be sent from any thread to any recipient deriving from
 * the Object class.
 *
 * To post a message, the sender allocates it dynamically as instance of a class
 * derived from Message. It then posts the message to an Object recipient
 * through Object::postMessage(). Message ownership is passed to the object,
 * thus the message shall not store any temporary data.
 *
 * The message is delivered in the context of the object's thread, through the
 * Object::message() virtual method. After delivery the message is
 * automatically deleted.
