/**
* LazyEventAPI provides a way to register a particular LLEventAPI to be
* instantiated on demand, that is, when its name is passed to
* LLEventPumps::obtain().
*
* Derive your listener from LLEventAPI as usual, with its various
* operation methods, but code your constructor to accept
* <tt>(const LL::LazyEventAPIParams& params)</tt>
* and forward that reference to (the protected)
* <tt>LLEventAPI(const LL::LazyEventAPIParams&)</tt> constructor.
*
* Then derive your listener registrar from
* <tt>LazyEventAPI<your LLEventAPI subclass></tt>. The constructor should
* look very like a traditional LLEventAPI constructor:
*
* * pass (name, desc [, field]) to LazyEventAPI's constructor
* * in the body, make a series of add() calls referencing your LLEventAPI
* subclass methods.
*
* You may use any LLEventAPI::add() methods, that is, any
* LLEventDispatcher::add() methods. But the target methods you pass to
* add() must belong to your LLEventAPI subclass, not the LazyEventAPI
* subclass.
*
* Declare a static instance of your LazyEventAPI listener registrar
* class. When it's constructed at static initialization time, it will
* register your LLEventAPI subclass with LLEventPumps. It will also
* collect metadata for the LLEventAPI and its operations to provide to
* LLLeapListener's introspection queries.
*
* When someone later calls LLEventPumps::obtain() to post an event to
* your LLEventAPI subclass, obtain() will instantiate it using
* LazyEventAPI's name, desc, field and add() calls.
