/// containing ActiveMethod members, executes all
/// active methods in their own thread.
/// This behavior does not fit the "classic"

/// the execution of active methods (in other words,
/// only one active method can be running at any given
/// time).
///
/// Using this class as a base class, the serializing
/// behavior for active objects can be implemented.
///
/// The following example shows how this is done:
///
/// class ActiveObject: public ActiveDispatcher
/// {
/// public:
/// ActiveObject():
/// exampleActiveMethod(this, &ActiveObject::exampleActiveMethodImpl)
/// {
/// }
///
/// ActiveMethod<std::string, std::string, ActiveObject, ActiveStarter<ActiveDispatcher>> exampleActiveMethod;

/// std::string exampleActiveMethodImpl(const std::string& arg)

/// ...

/// };
///
/// The only things different from the example in
/// ActiveMethod is that the ActiveObject in this case
/// inherits from ActiveDispatcher, and that the ActiveMethod
/// template for exampleActiveMethod has an additional parameter,
/// specifying the specialized ActiveStarter for ActiveDispatcher.
