 *
 * The object is fully operational only when its state is Ready. The Limited
 * state means that only some vital part of the object is operational, and it
 * requires some sort of reinitialization to become fully operational. The
 * NotReady state means the object is basically dead: it either was not yet
 * initialized after creation at all, or was uninitialized and is waiting to be
 * destroyed when the last reference to it is released. All other states are
 * transitional.
 *
 * The NotReady->InInit->Ready, NotReady->InInit->Limited and
 * NotReady->InInit->InitFailed transition is done by the AutoInitSpan smart
 * class.
 *
 * The Limited->InInit->Ready, Limited->InInit->Limited and
 * Limited->InInit->InitFailed transition is done by the AutoReinitSpan smart
 * class.
 *
 * The Ready->InUninit->NotReady and InitFailed->InUninit->NotReady
 * transitions are done by the AutoUninitSpan smart class.
 *
 * In order to maintain the primary state integrity and declared functionality
 * all subclasses must:
 *
 * 1) Use the above Auto*Span classes to perform state transitions. See the
 *    individual class descriptions for details.
 *
 * 2) All public methods of subclasses (i.e. all methods that can be called
 *    directly, not only from within other methods of the subclass) must have a
 *    standard prolog as described in the AutoCaller and AutoLimitedCaller
 *    documentation. Alternatively, they must use addCaller()/releaseCaller()
 *    directly (and therefore have both the prolog and the epilog), but this is
 *    not recommended.

/**
 * Base class to track VirtualBoxBaseNEXT chlidren of the component.
 *
 * This class is a preferrable VirtualBoxBase replacement for components that
 * operate with collections of child components. It gives two useful
 * possibilities:
 *
 * <ol><li>
 *      Given an IUnknown instance, it's possible to quickly determine
 *      whether this instance represents a child object that belongs to the
 *      given component, and if so, get a valid VirtualBoxBase pointer to the
 *      child object. The returned pointer can be then safely casted to the
 *      actual class of the child object (to get access to its "internal"
 *      non-interface methods) provided that no other child components implement
 *      the same original COM interface IUnknown is queried from.
 * </li><li>
 *      When the parent object uninitializes itself, it can easily unintialize
 *      all its VirtualBoxBase derived children (using their
 *      VirtualBoxBase::uninit() implementations). This is done simply by
 *      calling the #uninitDependentChildren() method.
 * </li></ol>
 *
 * In order to let the above work, the following must be done:
 * <ol><li>
 *      When a child object is initialized, it calls #addDependentChild() of
 *      its parent to register itself within the list of dependent children.
 * </li><li>
 *      When the child object it is uninitialized, it calls
 *      #removeDependentChild() to unregister itself.
 * </li></ol>
 *
 * Note that if the parent object does not call #uninitDependentChildren() when
 * it gets uninitialized, it must call uninit() methods of individual children
 * manually to disconnect them; a failure to do so will cause crashes in these
 * methods when children get destroyed. The same applies to children not calling
 * #removeDependentChild() when getting destroyed.
 *
 * Note that children added by #addDependentChild() are <b>weakly</b> referenced
 * (i.e. AddRef() is not called), so when a child object is deleted externally
 * (because it's reference count goes to zero), it will automatically remove
 * itself from the map of dependent children provided that it follows the rules
 * described here.
 *
 * Access to the child list is serialized using the #childrenLock() lock handle
 * (which defaults to the general object lock handle (see
 * VirtualBoxBase::lockHandle()). This lock is used by all add/remove methods of
 * this class so be aware of the need to preserve the {parent, child} lock order
 * when calling these methods.
 *
 * Read individual method descriptions to get further information.
 *
 * @todo This is a VirtualBoxBaseWithChildren equivalent that uses the
 *       VirtualBoxBaseNEXT implementation. Will completely supersede
 *       VirtualBoxBaseWithChildren after the old VirtualBoxBase implementation
 *       has gone.
