;;; Commentary:

;; Goals:
;;
;; There is a class of front-ending problems that Emacs might be used
;; to address that involves selecting sets of files, or possibly
;; directories, and passing the selection set to slave commands.  The
;; prototypical example, from which this code is derived, is talking
;; to version-control systems. 
;;
;; vc-dispatcher.el is written to decouple the UI issues in such front
;; ends from their application-specific logic. It also provides a
;; service layer for running the slave commands either synchronously
;; or asynchronously and managing the message/error logs from the
;; command runs.
;;
;; Similar UI problems can be expected to come up in applications
;; areas other than VCSes; IDEs and document search are two obvious ones.
;; This mode is intended to ensure that the Emacs interfaces for all such
;; beasts are consistent and carefully designed.  But even if nothing
;; but VC ever uses it, getting the layer separation right will be
;; a valuable thing.

;; Dispatcher's universe:
;;
;; The universe consists of the file tree rooted at the current
;; directory. The dispatcher's upper layer deduces some subset 
;; of the file tree from the state of the currently visited buffer 
;; and returns that subset, presumably to a client mode.
;;
;; The user may be attempting to select one of three contexts: an
;; explicitly selected fileset, the current working directory, or a
;; global (null) context.  The user may be looking at either of two
;; different views; a buffer visiting a file, or a directory buffer
;; generated by vc-dispatcher.  The main UI problem connected with
;; this mode is that the user may need to be able to select any of
;; these three contexts from either view.
;;
;; The lower layer of this mode runs commands in subprocesses, either
;; synchronously or asynchronously.  Commands may be launched in one
;; of two ways: they may be run immediately, or the calling mode can
;; create a closure associated with a text-entry buffer, to be
;; executed when the user types C-c to ship the buffer contents. In
;; either case the command messages and error (if any) will remain
;; available in a status buffer.
