/**
 * Interface defining a builder of routines bound to a context lifecycle.
 * 
 * Routine invocations started through the returned objects can be safely restored after a change in
 * the configuration, so to avoid duplicated calls and memory leaks. Be aware, though, that the
 * invocation results will always be dispatched in the main thread, no matter the calling one was,
 * so waiting for the outputs right after the routine invocation will result in a deadlock.
 * 

 * Note that the equals() and hashCode() methods of the input parameter
 * objects might be employed to check for clashing of invocations or compute the invocation ID.

 * In case the caller cannot guarantee the correct behavior of the aforementioned method
 * implementations, a user defined ID or the ABORT_THAT clash resolution should be used
 * to avoid unexpected results.
 * 

 * Created by davide on 12/9/14.
