 * You can control which thread receives operation invocations and AMI
 * callbacks by implementing the Dispatcher interface and
 * supplying an instance in InitializationData when
 * initializing a communicator.
 * 
 * For example, you can use this dispatching facility to ensure that
 * all invocations and callbacks are dispatched in a GUI event loop
 * thread so that it is safe to invoke directly on GUI objects.
