/*
  REGISTER_COMMAND is used for dispatching from type to static
  function. For example, to call one of multiple functions of
  (int, int) -> int, based on a string, you would write:

    struct BinaryArithmeticOp : IDispatched<BinaryArithmeticOp, std::string, std::function< int(int, int) >> {
        static int call( std::string const& op, int a, int b ) {
            return dispatch( op )( a, b );
        }
    };

    struct AddOp {
        static constexpr const char* opname = "+";
        static int call( int a, in b ) {
            return a + b;
        }
    };

  AddOp needs to be registered with REGISTER_COMMAND:

    REGISTER_COMMAND( BinaryArithmeticOp, AddOp, opname, call );

  If each BinaryArithmeticOp will have the same fields opname and
  call, it is probably easier to define a convenience macro:

    #define REGISTER_BINARY_OP(Op) REGISTER_COMMAND(BinaryArithmeticOp, Op, opname, call)

  The registration would then become:

    REGISTER_BINARY_OP( AddOp );

  Given std::string op, int x and int y, you would dynamically call
  the correct op with:

    BinaryArithmeticOp::call( op, x, y );

#define REGISTER_FACTORY(Type, Instance, Key) REGISTER_DISPATCHED(Type, Instance, Instance::Key, Type::Factory<Instance>::create)

/*
  REGISTER_FACTORY is a formalized convention to simplify creating new
  or singleton objects that satisfy an interface, dispatched by a
  value of a given type. The type must have a nested, templated struct
  named Factory, which must have a method create that returns the
  desired type.

  For example:

    struct Message : IDispatched<Message, std::string, std::function< Message*(const char*) >>, ReferenceCounted<Message> {
        static Reference<Message> create( std::string const& message_type, const char* name ) {
            return Reference<Message>( dispatch( message_type )( name ) );
        }

        virtual std::string toString() = 0;

        template <class MessageType>
        struct Factory {
            static Message* create( const char* name ) {
                return (Message*)( new MessageType( name ) );
            }
        };
    };

    struct ExclaimMessage : Message {
        static constexpr const char* msgname = "exclaim";
        ExclaimMessage( const char* name ) : name(name) {}
        virtual std::string toString() {
            std::string s = format( "Hello, %s!", name );
        }
    };

  Each message must also be registered:

    REGISTER_FACTORY( Message, ExclaimMessage, msgname );

  This may also be shorted for a given type with another macro:

    #define REGISTER_MESSAGE(Msg) REGISTER_FACTOR(Message, Msg, msgname)

  And then be called as:

    REGISTER_MESSAGE( ExclaimMessage );

  Given std::string msgtype and const char* name, you would construct
  a new message with:

    Reference<Message> msg = Message::create( msgtype, name );
