# == Plugin::Manager
#
# A manager provides high-level wrappers for features, e.g.
# installing software packages. It does not actually implement these
# features, but instead manages a set of drivers. When one of the manager's
# wrapper methods is called, it queries the drivers to find the most
# suitable one and dispatches the user's request to that driver.
#
# For example, the PlatformManager is a Manager class that manages a set of
# Driver instances, including PlatformManager::Uname and
# PlatformManager::LSB. When you invoke the high-level
# PlatformManager#query wrapper method, it interrogates the drivers to find
# which one is best-suited for this method and then dispatches the request
# to that driver's low-level implementation of this method.
#
# The manager subclasses typically have no functionality of their own and
# just contain wrapper methods and documentation.

# Dispatch a method by guessing its name. This is the recommended way to
# write wrappers for a Manager methods.
#
# Example:
# class MyManager < Plugin::Manager
# # Your RDoc here
# def my_method(*args)
# # Will guess that you want to +dispatch_to+ the +my_method+ by
# # introspecting the name of the wrapper method.
# dispatch(*args)
# end
# ...

# Dispatch the +method+ with +args+ and +block+ to the appropriate
# driver. If the arguments include an option of the form :with =>
# :mytoken argument, then the method will be dispatched to the
# driver represented by :mytoken. If no :with argument is
# specified, the most-suitable driver will be automatically selected. If
# no suitable driver is available, a NotImplementedError will be raised.
#
# Examples:
# # Run 'hostnames' method on most appropriate AddressManager driver:
# address_manager.dispatch_to(:hostnames)
#
# # Run AddressManager::Portable#hostnames
# address_manager.dispatch_to(:hostnames, :with => :portable)
#
# You will typically not want to use this method directly and instead
# write wrappers that call #dispatch because it can guess the name of
# the +method+ argument for you.
