/**
 * <P>
 * The Signaler interface was designed to get around the problem of not being
 * able to extend the functionality of the Object.notify and Object.notifyAll
 * methods. In some instances is would be nice to alter the default behavior
 * slightly, the signaler interface allows this to occur.
 * </P>
 * 
 * <P>
 * An object that implements the Signaler interface is used just like a typical
 * object. But instead of using notify and notifyAll, the methods signal and
 * signalAll should be used in their place.
