+   * Registry for tracking object instances.
    * Custom implementation of the RefArray interface,
-   * used by the Session to keep track of all timelines
+   * based on a vector. Especially used  by the Session
-   * and sequences. The registration/deregistration functions
+   * to keep track of all timelines and sequences.
-   * are accessible as SessionServices
+   * Typically, ELM will inherit from AutoRegistered<ELM>,
+   * which in turn will invoke the registration/deregistration.
+   * Because of the smart-ptr-from-this problem, removal takes
+   * a direct reference, as opposed to a smart-ptr.
+   * @note ELM is required to provide an equality test.
+   *       Depending on the semantics of this equality,
+   *       registration might behave surprisingly, as
+   *       previously registered \em equivalent instances
+   *       will be deregistered prior to appending the 
+   *       new instance.
