/**
 * Plugins allow to modify {@link RequestExecution executions of requests} in order to inject specific behaviour.
 *
 * The chronological order of phases is
 *
 * 
 *     Async
 *     Phases afterwards are executed asynchronously.
 *     Dispatch
 *     Performs the response routing onto the supplied routing tree upon receiving a response.
 *     Serialization
 *     Serialization of the request body.
 *     Network
 *     The actual network communication.
 * 
 *
 * The nature of {@link RequestExecution request executions} allows plugins to inject behavior before, after and even
 * during the execution on a request.
