/** @file command-impl.hpp
 ** Top level of the command implementation. CommandImpl holds together
 ** the various data and sub-objects involved into the inner workings of a
 ** Proc-Layer command. It serves to implement a "command definition" (prototype)
 ** as well as a concrete command instance. It is a data holder with a well defined
 ** identity and usually located within the (pooled) storage managed by the
 ** CommandRegistry. Client code gets access to a specific CommandImpl through
 ** a Command instance, which is a small (refcounting smart-ptr) handle.
 ** 
 ** //TODO
