//
// Base Transceiver Implementation
//
//  Behaviour common to all Transceiver implementations.
//
// Collaborations
//
//  Implements the Transceiver abstract  interface as template methods
//  and provides  a new abstract interface  with similar functionality
//  (do_XXXXX operations). Provides and  calls abstract interface that
//  gets  called post  the above  operations (do_post_XXXXX)  to allow
//  caching implementation etc.
//
//  A  key factor  is  to  catch all  exceptions  thrown by  sub-class
//  implementations where  the template method  is a Qt slot  which is
//  therefore  likely  to  be  called   by  Qt  which  doesn't  handle
//  exceptions. Any exceptions are converted to Transceiver::failure()
//  signals.
//
//  Sub-classes update the stored state via a protected interface.
//
// Responsibilities:
//
//  Wrap incoming  Transceiver messages catching all  exceptions in Qt
//  slot driven  messages and converting  them to Qt signals.  This is
//  done because exceptions  make concrete Transceiver implementations
//  simpler  to   write,  but  exceptions  cannot   cross  signal/slot
//  boundaries  (especially across  threads).  This  also removes  any
//  requirement for the client code to handle exceptions.
//
//  Maintain the  state of the  concrete Transceiver instance  that is
//  passed back via  the Transceiver::update(TransceiverState) signal,
//  it   is  still   the   responsibility   of  concrete   Transceiver
//  implementations to emit  the state_change signal when  they have a
//  status update.
//
//  Maintain    a   go/no-go    status   for    concrete   Transceiver
//  implementations  ensuring only  a valid  sequence of  messages are
//  passed. A concrete Transceiver instance  must be started before it
//  can receive  messages, any exception thrown  takes the Transceiver
//  offline.
//
//  Implements methods  that concrete Transceiver  implementations use
//  to update the Transceiver state.  These do not signal state change
//  to  clients  as  this  is   the  responsibility  of  the  concrete
//  Transceiver implementation, thus allowing multiple state component
//  updates to be signalled together if required.
