/**
 * This class is the interface to the module communication. Responsibility:
 * <p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>create connections</li>
 * <li>sending/receiving messages of type 'Message'</li>
 * <li>identifying message as response of send messages with request()</li>
 * <li>creating corresponding command objects for received messages, calling
 * execute() for these command objects and sending back the response message.
 * <li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Instances of this class can act like a server or like a client. Use the
 * appropriate constructor. As a server, the instance will accept connections
 * without any timeout. The request to connect are not queued, so if a
 * connection indication arrives when the instance is already connected, the
 * connection is refused by the operating system.
 * <p>
 * How to use:
 * <ul>
 * <li>instantiate a communicator</li>
 * <li>add listeners</li>
 * <li>call run</li>
 * <li>send messages with send() or request()</li>
 * <li>to close the connection call close()</li>
 * See the package documentation for a detailed description.
