public interface AccessorOrchestrator
extends Nameable

Interface for classes that can orchestrate the execution of accessors. An implementation of this interface accepts requests to invoke callback functions (via the invokeCallback(Runnable) method). It promises that all such callback functions are mutually atomic. This interface extends Nameable so that error reporting is more complete. FIXME: More
