/** @file placeholder-command.hpp
 ** Generate fake commands with stub operations and the ability to verify invocation.
 ** This helper for unit testing of UI interactions might serve as dummy placeholder,
 ** or be used to mock some operation expected to happen within Proc-Layer. The test::Nexus
 ** offers a convenience front-end to install such an placeholder operation and use it
 ** as counterpart for some tested elements connected to the UI-bus.
 ** 
 ** The actual operation is void of any functionality, but might be installed to accept
 ** arbitrary predetermined argument bindings, and to verify invocation and passed arguments.
 ** 
 ** @see BusTerm_test
 ** @see test::Nexus::prepareMockCmd
