class AbstractEvent
	/// An AbstractEvent is the base class of all events.
	/// It works similar to the way C# handles notifications (aka events in C#).
	///
	/// Events can be used to send information to a set of delegates
	/// which are registered with the event. The type of the data is specified with
	/// the template parameter TArgs. The TStrategy parameter must be a subclass
	/// of NotificationStrategy. The parameter TDelegate can either be a subclass of AbstractDelegate
	/// or of AbstractPriorityDelegate.
	///
	/// Note that AbstractEvent should never be used directly. One ought to use
	/// one of its subclasses which set the TStrategy and TDelegate template parameters
	/// to fixed values. For most use-cases the BasicEvent template will be sufficient:
	///
	///     #include "Poco/BasicEvent.h"
	///     #include "Poco/Delegate.h"
	///
	/// Note that as of release 1.4.2, the behavior of BasicEvent equals that of FIFOEvent,
	/// so the FIFOEvent class is no longer necessary and provided for backwards compatibility
	/// only.
	///
	/// BasicEvent works with a standard delegate. They allow one object to register
	/// one or more delegates with an event. In contrast, a PriorityDelegate comes with an attached priority value
	/// and allows one object to register for one priority value one or more delegates. Note that PriorityDelegates
	/// only work with PriorityEvents:
	///
	///     #include "Poco/PriorityEvent.h"
	///     #include "Poco/PriorityDelegate.h"
	///
	/// Use events by adding them as public members to the object which is throwing notifications:
	///
	///     class MyData
	///     {
	///     public:
	///         Poco::BasicEvent<int> dataChanged;
	///
	///         MyData();
	///         ...
	///         void setData(int i);
	///         ...
	///     private:
	///         int _data;
	///     };
	///
	/// Firing the event is done either by calling the event's notify() or notifyAsync() method:
	///
	///     void MyData::setData(int i)
	///     {
	///         this->_data = i;
	///         dataChanged.notify(this, this->_data);
	///     }
	///
	/// Alternatively, instead of notify(), operator () can be used.
	///
	///     void MyData::setData(int i)
	///     {
	///         this->_data = i;
	///         dataChanged(this, this->_data);
	///     }
	///
	/// Note that operator (), notify() and notifyAsync() do not catch exceptions, i.e. in case a
	/// delegate throws an exception, notifying is immediately aborted and the exception is propagated
	/// back to the caller.
	///
	/// Delegates can register methods at the event. In the case of a BasicEvent
	/// the Delegate template is used, in case of an PriorityEvent a PriorityDelegate is used.
	/// Mixing of delegates, e.g. using a PriorityDelegate with a BasicEvent is not allowed and
	/// can lead to compile-time and/or run-time errors. The standalone delegate() functions
	/// can be used to construct Delegate objects.
	///
	/// Events require the observers to have one of the following method signatures:
	///
	///     void onEvent(const void* pSender, TArgs& args);
	///     void onEvent(TArgs& args);
	///     static void onEvent(const void* pSender, TArgs& args);
	///     static void onEvent(void* pSender, TArgs& args);
	///     static void onEvent(TArgs& args);
	///
	/// For performance reasons arguments are always sent by reference. This also allows observers
	/// to modify the event argument. To prevent that, use <[const TArg]> as template
	/// parameter. A non-conformant method signature leads to compile errors.
	///
	/// Assuming that the observer meets the method signature requirement, it can register
	/// this method with the += operator:
	///
	///     class MyController
	///     {
	///     protected:
	///         MyData _data;
	///
	///         void onDataChanged(void* pSender, int& data);
	///         ...
	///     };
	///
	///     MyController::MyController()
	///     {
	///         _data.dataChanged += delegate(this, &MyController::onDataChanged);
	///     }
	///
	/// In some cases it might be desirable to work with automatically expiring registrations. Simply add
	/// to delegate as 3rd parameter a expireValue (in milliseconds):
	///
	///     _data.dataChanged += delegate(this, &MyController::onDataChanged, 1000);
	///
	/// This will add a delegate to the event which will automatically be removed in 1000 millisecs.
	///
	/// Unregistering happens via the -= operator. Forgetting to unregister a method will lead to
	/// segmentation faults later, when one tries to send a notify to a no longer existing object.
	///
	///     MyController::~MyController()
	///     {
	///         _data.dataChanged -= delegate(this, &MyController::onDataChanged);
	///     }
	///
	/// Working with PriorityDelegate's as similar to working with BasicEvent.
	/// Instead of delegate(), the priorityDelegate() function must be used
	/// to create the PriorityDelegate.
