 * This abstract class implements many basic API functions, and is the base of

 * Module parameters: Derived classes can define getAllowedParams() to specify

 *
 * Profiling: various methods to allow keeping tabs on various tasks and their
 *    time costs
 *
 * Self-documentation: code to allow the API to document its own state
